	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>In its consultation issued on 13<sup>th</sup> May 2014, DECC has proposed closing the Renewables Obligation (RO) to new solar PV capacity above 5MW from 31 March 2015. We consider this to be necessary because large-scale solar PV is deploying more rapidly than expected. This poses a substantial risk to our ability to manage the levy control framework budget, and therefore our ability to minimise costs of renewables deployment for consumers.</p><p> </p><p>The impact assessment published alongside the consultation set out the projected impact of proposed intervention on deployment and spend. Option 1 below assumes no action; option 2 is the proposed intervention:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-on-changes-to-financial-support-for-solar-pv" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-on-changes-to-financial-support-for-solar-pv</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p> question first answered 01/09/2014 10:21:14

	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>Survey work undertaken to support the Housing Standards Review impact assessment indicates that around 42% of local authorities in England have a plan policy requiring compliance of all or some of new housing development with Lifetme Homes Standards. The same survey indicates that a further 34% have a policy encouraging (but not mandating) compliance. As a result of the Housing Standards Review the Govenment is proposing to introduce an optional requirement in to the Building Regulations similar to the Lifetime Home Standard, and to enable authorities to chose when to apply this. This will ensure that older and disabled people can have a choice of housing that meets their needs.<br><br>The proposed new standard has been developed in concert with accessibility and disability groups, and is an improvement on current lifetime home standards, not least by reducing the regulatory cost which would otherwise force up the cost of housing. For example, our Impact assessment has estimated a £521 cost under the new optional standard for a 3 bedroom home; this compares with a £1,097 cost under the existing standard.</p> question first answered 20/10/2014 16:10:48
