Housing was the strongest performing sector last year

The top client in this sector was a team featuring Dartmouth Capital Advisors, London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames and Reselton Properties, which received the nod for one deal worth £1.25²ú²Ô – the redevelopment of the Stag Brewery in south-west London.

The client receiving the most approvals across all sectors was the Department for Transport, which was given permission for 20 projects worth £4.8²ú²Ô.

The sector to receive the next highest value of approvals was hotel and leisure, with clients here given permission for £10.5bn of work.

This was followed by those in the industrial sector, at £10.4bn, and commercial clients being approved for £10bn worth of work.

Meanwhile, the data has also revealed the top spending clients for December.

Britishvolt was the single biggest spending client at £2.6bn. This was the deal it struck with ISG to build its battery gigaplant in Blythe, Northumberland.

The sector with the highest was industrial – largely due to the Britishvolt deal. Overall, clients in this sector awarded £3.03bn of work.

The next biggest spending sectors were infrastructure, at £1.5bn, and private housing at £895m.

In total, almost £8.1bn of work was handed out in the last month of 2020.
