	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2022 answer text <p>A planning application for major development must be accompanied by a design and access statement. This will explain the design principles and concepts that have been applied to the proposed development and demonstrate the steps taken to assess the context of the proposed development. <br> <br> All documents submitted as part of a planning application, including any noise impact or environmental impact assessments, are made publicly available for comment during the mandatory 21 consultation period. This ensures local residents are aware of the application, and its supported documents, and can comment on these. Our National Planning Policy Framework states that planning decisions and subsequent developments should not contribute to unacceptable levels of noise pollution and that developments should take into account adverse noise affecting existing amenities and local infrastructure. <br> <br> The Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill will increase the opportunities for involvement to ensure development is brought forward in a way that works best for local people. Alongside traditional forms of engagement, digital engagement will remove barriers to engagement and provide new opportunities for local people to engage. We are clear that communities must have a say on development that affects them and they will retain the right to comment on planning applications.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 21/06/2022 16:48:34 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

The new scheme will be funded by expanding the scope of the Building Safety Levy to raise an additional estimated £3 billion, providing the necessary funds to address cladding issues on these remaining buildings. We will announce further detail on the launch of the 11-18m Remediation Fund shortly.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 20/06/2022 10:54:39 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2022 answer text <p>The Government is providing £5.1 billion, including £4.5 billion through the Building Safety Fund, to address the fire safety risks caused by unsafe cladding on high-rise residential buildings. This will be used where the original developer and/or the building owner are not funding the works. On 13 April, the Department announced that leading residential developers had pledged to remediate life critical fire safety works in buildings over 11 metres that they have played a role in developing or refurbishing over the last 30 years in England. As of 13 June, over 45 have signed the pledge. <br> <br> Developers making this commitment have also agreed to reimburse any funding received from government remediation programmes in relation to buildings they had a role in developing or refurbishing. This action will make sure that funding grants will only be used where there is no industry solution available and there should be no need for additional funding from the tax payer.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 17/06/2022 13:30:27 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/06/2022 answer text <p>The Building Safety Act 2022 provides that where a building's freeholder is - or is linked - to the original developer, they must meet costs associated with historical building safety defects in full and cannot pass on these costs to leaseholders.</p><p>The Act refers to the position as at 14 February 2022, so any future buyer of the freehold will assume the same liabilities of the previous freeholder. As such, freeholders will not be able to simply sell off their buildings or transfer them to new companies to evade liability.</p><p>Should the freeholder declare insolvency, the Act contains provision allowing the appointed insolvency practitioner to apply to the court to require companies associated with the freeholder, such as the parent company, to meet the costs of remediation.</p><p>The Act also grants powers to the High Court and the First-tier Tribunal allowing them to extend specific liabilities for one company to associated companies, preventing developers and freeholders from evading their responsibilities by using complex corporate structures such as special purpose vehicles.</p><p>The Government has agreed with 45 residential property developers that they will fix life-critical fire safety defects, including cladding, in all buildings above 11 metres that they had a role in developing or refurbishing in the past 30 years. In these circumstances, the ownership of the particular property will be irrelevant, as the liability to remediate is with the developer group, even if the particular subsidiary that did the development becomes insolvent.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 01/06/2022 14:09:35 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2022 answer text <p>The changes in the rate of inflation and the impact this will have on homeowners is of great importance. Help to Buy customers pay no interest for the first five years of their loan. Interest fees that begin in year 6 start at 1.75% and increase each year by CPI + 2%. Affordability assessments are carried out by both the main mortgage provider and our Help to Buy Agents at the outset of the loans. These checks assess and stress-test the borrower’s long-term ability to meet their mortgage repayments and future fee payments. We are, however, monitoring the situation closely and will continue working with Homes England ensure we have the correct policies in place to support homeowners.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 21/04/2022 16:39:09 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

Any such companies were wholly-owned by the Defence Secretary and came under the umbrella of Admiralty Holdings Limited (AHL).

AHL was operated on the owner's behalf by UKHO.
