	uin	115846
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2017 answer text <p>The Housing White Paper set out the Government’s ambitious programme to bring brownfield land back into use in England. We have already introduced a requirement for local planning authorities to publish a statutory brownfield land register by the end of 2017, which will identify which previously developed sites are suitable for housing. Local authorities will be able to grant permission in principle, on suitable sites in their registers. This will provide early certainty about the suitability of sites for housing-led development before detailed and often costly development proposals need to be provided. Permission in principle will reduce risk for developers and improve the efficiency of the planning process for the benefit of all users.</p><p>It is our intention to introduce permission in principle by application for small sites later in the year, and we expect this will be a particularly helpful tool for small and medium sized builders developing on brownfield land.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 05/12/2017 17:15:09 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
