Funding new homes: sites for sale
Welcome to the New Homes for Small Sites sales information website, where you’ll find everything you need to know about how Camden is working to fund new, high-quality affordable homes across the borough.

The story so far
Through Camden’s Community Investment Programme (CIP), we are committed to building 1,800 new council homes for our communities as we believe everyone should have a place to call home. Our aim is to provide high quality, affordable housing to address the housing crisis and create energy-efficient homes that help lower fuel bills and tackle climate change.
As part of this programme, the New Homes for Small Sites team is working to build council homes for Social Rent and Camden Living Intermediate Rent at rates below market rent. These new affordable homes will be built on small pockets of suitable land across the borough.
In February 2023, Camden’s Cabinet approved the New Homes for Small Sites programme to begin development of five small sites, creating new affordable homes for local residents if planning permission is successful.
Camden’s Cabinet also agreed to explore the sale of some small sites to raise funds for these affordable homes. These pieces of land are in places where constraints or costs mean it is not viable for Camden Council to build homes directly. The sale of these sites will enable us to make a meaningful long-term investment in council homes in the borough.
What's next?
We are currently looking to sell several small sites across Camden which would allow us to raise funds for new affordable homes. You can find out more about these sites here.
We are engaging with residents around each piece of land to inform them of the potential sale, and we will work with those neighbouring sites in the New Homes for Small Sites programme on local improvements where possible.
If we can raise funds through the sale of these small pieces of land, the money will help fund our work to build new affordable homes on the following small sites around Camden:
