<p>There are a number of important elements upon which successful estate regeneration
relies. These include having a supportive and engaged local community, the backing
of the local authority, and a plan to ensure schemes are financially viable. Strong
partnerships are essential between councils and scheme stakeholders, including developers,
housing associations and the community. The Government intends to publish a National
Strategy on Estate Regeneration shortly. Development of the strategy has been informed
by the work of the Estate Regeneration Advisory Panel, co-chaired by my Noble Friend,
the Rt. Hon. Lord Heseltine and Gavin Barwell, the Housing & Planning Minister,
and engagement with estate regeneration schemes from across the country.</p><p> </p>
