Historic buildings for homes

Published On: 14th August 2026

Evidence suggests 670,000 homes could be created through the reuse of vacant or under-used historic buildings.

The CMS Committee published a report with recommendations include planning reform, improved funding and investment in heritage skills.

A response by the Government is expected after Parliament reconvenes.

The name of the DCMS is changing to Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.

SAVE has written to Secretaries of State for Housing and Energy making the case for reusing historic buildings to tackle some of our most pressing issues.
