It is for elected local councils working with their local communities to decide how best to meet their objectively assessed housing needs.</p><p><br>Our Planning Guidance, which we published on 6 March, sets out a clear and simplified methodology for assessing development needs for housing. Planning ahead for housing is the best way to make sure communities and business can have confidence and ensure enough housing is delivered to meet local needs.</p><p> </p><p>Housing projections provide the starting point estimate of overall housing need, but can then be adjusted to reflect other factors including any constraints on land. This creates a housing requirement figure, which is used as the starting point for calculating a five-year land supply.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 28/10/2014 14:24:51 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

Ofcom sets out a clear objective, in case of a change of use of those frequencies away from existing services including PMSE, to continue to secure those important benefits. Its plan to achieve this includes improving the way current use takes place as well as securing access to alternative frequencies and Ofcom is working closely with stakeholders through its regular engagement with the British Entertainment Industry Radio Group.</p><p>I welcome Ofcom’s recognition of the significant value that PMSE delivers and we fully support their work on mitigating the effect of loss of access to the 700MHz band. This is an integral part of any change to the 700 MHz band and the DCMS will continue to monitor Ofcom’s work in this.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 28/10/2014 09:38:51 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2014 answer text <p>Ofcom published a statement in May on its strategy to deal with the growing demand for mobile data services.</p><p> </p><p>In that document Ofcom highlighted that there are a wide range of long term forecasts both in terms of traffic levels and set out the subsequent implications for future spectrum requirements. Ofcom will continue to review the growth in mobile data demand, and consequently how much spectrum (in addition to public sector spectrum in the 2.3 GHz and 3.4 GHz bands and the proposed release of the 700 MHz band) it might be beneficial to make available for mobile data services in the future. However, this type of analysis is inherently subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and therefore Ofcom is working to ensure there are sufficient spectrum options for the future to deal with this demand if and when it emerges.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 28/10/2014 09:38:03 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
