Newlands – land regeneration for the 21st Century
Newlands builds on a legacy of work carried out in the sector by the Northwest’s two Community Forests, Groundwork and the Forestry Commission's Land Regeneration Unit. It is an ambitious project, and one that applies cutting edge planning techniques, such as the Public Benefits Recording System and Additional Value Assessments to ensure that investment is allocated, and community woodlands created, according to the greatest economic, social and environmental need.
The impact of Newlands at a local, as well as regional level is significant and wide reaching. Land values are increasing, Housing Market Renewal areas and deprived wards are being improved and business is being attracted to some of the key economic hubs of the Northwest region.
