This support has included provision of £19 million of capacity funding expert delivery advice from Homes England and cross-government brokerage to resolve barriers.</p><p>At Autumn Budget 2017 we announced we will extend this support to the delivery of a further 5 locally led garden towns that will seek to bring together public and private capital.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2018 answer text <p>It is vital that as housing supply increases, the quality of new build homes continues to improve. In our Housing White paper, published last year, we set out our ambition for a housing market that works for everyone. We expect all housing developers to deliver good quality housing, to deliver it on time, and to treat house buyers fairly.</p><p>The Government is clear that, where something goes wrong, house builders and warranty providers should fulfil their obligations to put this right. However, we know this is not always the case.</p><p>Currently there are four different providers of redress for the housing market, but not all provide complete coverage of the issues for new homes buyers. Membership to schemes for some groups is compulsory but not all and leaves gaps within the redress landscape.</p><p>The All Party Parliamentary Group report, '<em>More Homes, fewer complaints',</em> published July 2016 made a number of recommendations on how we can strengthen consumer redress within the new homes market. We have been reviewing the recommendations within the report alongside listening to, and responding to, industry proposals for strengthening consumer redress.</p><p>At the National House-Building Council (NHBC) Conference in November 2016, the then Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government announced that we will be formally exploring the options for creation of a new single housing ombudsman. A single, transparent and accountable body with a remit that covers the whole of the housing sector. We have already started conversations with our stakeholders and aim for a wide consultation shortly.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 02/02/2018 14:45:21 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2018 answer text <p>The 2017 Autumn Budget set out government's ambition to deliver five new garden towns. Government will bring together public and private capital to deliver these new towns in areas of high demand, and work with local partners and the private sector to do so. We are determined that housing growth is supported by the right infrastructure at the right time. Our £5 billion Housing Infrastructure Fund shows just how serious we are about that.</p><p>There are a range of further funding sources available to support the development of housing and the associated infrastructure required. Mayoral combined authorities in particular have devolved funds and could allocate parts of their Investment Funds towards supporting this. Government also committed in the 2017 Autumn Budget to publish a consultation on changes to the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and developer contributions, which will help the public sector capture rising land values from additional public investment. The government will also encourage authorities to explore the introduction of a Strategic Infrastructure Tariff, in addition to CIL, supported by appropriate governance arrangements.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 27/02/2018 09:30:20 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
