	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2019 answer text <p>In June 2010 the Government removed domestic gardens in built-up areas from the definition of ‘brownfield’ land. This strengthened the discretion of local authorities to refuse intrusive new dwellings on residential garden land. We retained that policy when we revised the National Planning Policy Framework in June 2018. This does not impose a complete ban on the use of redundant garden land for housing. We expect local authorities to consider what is the appropriate density for a residential area, to resist inappropriate development, and to ensure green infrastructure is maintained in built-up areas.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 15/04/2019 14:43:39 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
