	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>The Government supports the community-led housebuilding sector – of which community land trusts are an important part – through the annual £60 million Community Housing Fund. The Fund is delivered outside London by Homes England and within London by the Greater London Authority. Capital and revenue grants are available to community-based groups wishing to take forward schemes to build locally affordable housing. Through the Fund, the Government is also supporting a consortium of the major stakeholder groups (including the National Community Land Trust Network) to develop a network of technical advisors to support community-based groups though the process of developing their housebuilding schemes.</p><p>The Community Housing Fund is currently scheduled to close in March 2020. Decisions on funding for 2020-21 onwards are a matter for the Spending Review, which will take place this year.</p> question first answered 13/05/2019 13:23:16

	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>We have strengthened the policy for securing accessible housing, by expecting local planning authorities to use the Government’s optional technical standards for accessible and adaptable housing when preparing their plans, where this would address an identified need for such properties. Our planning guidance sets out the role of local planning authorities in monitoring the implementation of plans. Authorities can include the provision of accessible housing when preparing their Authority Monitoring Reports, but this is not mandatory.</p> question first answered 13/05/2019 13:23:46

	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>We are committed to a plan-led system that delivers the homes this country needs, while protecting our precious environment. Up-to-date plans provide a sound basis for assessing land supply, and it is only where plans have become out-of-date that our standard method for assessing housing need is used instead. What this means in practice will depend on the amount of land with permission in each area, the protections that apply and the stage an emerging plan has reached, and so there is no national estimate of the impact. The National Planning Policy Framework protects emerging plans in certain circumstances, even in the absence of a five-year land supply, where a development would significantly undermine the plan.</p><p> </p> question first answered 13/05/2019 13:25:11
