Sites for new villages include green belt-land and spread from Cornwall to Cumbria, but local opposition is strong in some areas.
By Jessica Elgot
Some 14 garden villages are to be built across England on sites including a former airfield and green-belt land, ministers have said.
The villages, totalling 48,000 homes, will not be extensions of existing small towns or villages, but “distinct new places with their own community facilities”, the Government said.
Sites from Cornwall to Cumbria have been identified in the first round of approved locations, making them eligible for a share of a £6 million government technical and financial support fund. After completion, the villages may vary in size from 1,500 homes up to 10,000.
