Major UK Regeneration Schemes: What's Planned and Where
The large regeneration schemes that will change places across the UK, as their councils and promoters describe them, with sources. Announced change, not a price forecast.
What this list is
These are large, named regeneration schemes: new homes, stations and neighbourhoods that will change the places around them. Each description gives the scheme's own published figures and links to the body running it. These are plans, not forecasts. Big schemes take decades, change shape and sometimes stall, and nothing here predicts what will happen to house prices.
