Nearly two thirds of the growth in households will come from natural change in the population, not net migration. Even if net migration fell by more than projected we would still face a significant housing challenge which requires us to make a step-change in housing delivery. We will be consulting on a standard approach to assessing housing requirement at the earliest opportunity.</p><p>The Housing White Paper also reaffirms the government’s commitment to Green Belt protection, and proposes amendments to national planning policy that would require greater transparency about what constitutes exceptional circumstances when amending Green Belt boundaries, so that communities can hold their local authorities to account.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Croydon Central answering member printed Gavin Barwell question first answered 25/04/2017 11:02:49 answering member 3955 label Biography information for Lord Barwell
