That is why we have now committed to end rough sleeping within this Parliament and to fully enforce the Homelessness Reduction Act (HRA).</p><p>The latest published statutory homelessness data (April-June 2019) offers promising signs regarding the impact of the HRA:</p><p>Under the HRA more households are being offered statutory support, with more single people receiving help than ever before. 65 per cent of households owed a duty were single households, compared to 30 per cent prior to the introduction of the HRA.</p><p>Most households at risk of homelessness are having it successfully prevented. 57 per cent of the households whose prevention duty ended in this period secured their existing accommodation or were helped to find alternative accommodation. 40 per cent of the households whose relief duty ended in this period were helped to find accommodation.</p><p>Local authorities will now receive an additional £63 million in 2020/21 through the Homelessness Reduction Grant to carry out these duties. This is part of a £437 million package to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over 2020/21.</p><p>In addition, the most recent national figures from the Official 2019 Rough Sleeping Snapshot, showed that the number of people sleeping on our streets on a single night fell for the second year in a row. The number of those sleeping rough on one night in 2019 was 9 per cent lower than the previous year.  This follows year-on-year increases prior to 2018.</p>

Where the demolition of one or more buildings is required as part of a redevelopment, details of the demolition can be included in the planning application. This will give the local planning authority the opportunity to consider demolition alongside other aspects of the development including energy efficiency.

unstar this property answer text <p>Local authorities are equipped with a range of powers and strong incentives to tackle empty homes. Through the New Homes Bonus, they earn the same financial reward for bringing an empty home back into use as for building a new one. This includes social housing and there is an additional premium for every affordable home delivered. Billing authorities have the discretion to charge up to 100 per cent extra council tax – on top of the standard bill – on properties that have been empty for at least two years.</p><p>In certain circumstances, local authorities can apply for an Empty Dwelling Management Order (EDMO) to temporarily take over the management of a property that has been empty for more than two years and bring it back into use. Local authorities have a variety of compulsory purchase powers which they can use to acquire and develop derelict or empty property, including for housing purposes. However, compulsory purchase is intended for use as a last resort and there must always be a compelling case in the public interest.</p><p>The Estate Regeneration National Strategy good practice guide (published December 2016) supports social housing landlords. It sets out the importance of assessing the estate, including over and under occupancy and opportunities for further development. We have also given local housing authorities the tools to deliver a new generation of council housing by removing the Housing Revenue Account borrowing cap.</p>
