About Housing Market Renewal

Housing Market Renewal or HMR was established by Central Government to tackle the most acute areas of low demand housing and its associated problems in parts of the Midlands and Northern England.

These associated problems include high vacancy rates, low house prices and an increase in absentee private landlords.

Restoring confidence in the local housing market will be at the centre of a significant regeneration process for Pendle.

Pathfinders

There are nine Housing Market Renewal areas across the country called Pathfinders. Pendle is included in the Pathfinder for East Lancashire, which was formerly known as Elevate East Lancashire. As of early 2010 Elevate East Lancashire was incorporated into Regenerate Pennine Lancashire.

The other Pathfinders are:

• Newcastle and Gateshead
• Humberside
• Birmingham and Sandwell
• North Staffordshire
• Manchester and Salford
• Merseyside
• Oldham and Rochdale

Regenerate Pennine Lancashire will contribute to the delivery of the Pennine Lancashire Housing Strategy and will continue the Housing Market Renewal (HMR) work initiated by Elevate. Regenerate Pennine Lancashire is owned by the seven Pennine Lancashire local authorities: Lancashire County Council and the borough councils of Blackburn with Darwen, Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle, Ribble Valley and Rossendale.
