The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs and the Rt Hon Emma Reynolds MP announced that nearly 18,800 new homes will soon be built in East Anglia, Lincolnshire and the Home Counties following a breakthrough between the government and Anglian Water. The Water Delivery Taskforce, created in April 2025, facilitated agreements that allow large‑scale developments of more than 500 homes by working with developers and local authorities at an earlier stage. Anglian Water will support infrastructure upgrades over multiple investment cycles, including a potential new water recycling centre in Grantham, a strategic pipeline, and a 20‑million‑litre storage reservoir. The move is part of the government’s broader housing and water resilience strategy, which also includes a New Homes Accelerator and a plan for nine new reservoirs by 2050.
