A recent report by Habinteg suggests that less than a third of all English local plans currently set specific requirements for a percentage of new homes to be built to accessible or adaptable standards.</p><p>We have strengthened policy in the revised National Planning Policy Framework, published in July 2018, so that local planning authorities are expected to put in place specific policies to address the housing needs of older and disabled people. We have also strengthened the policy approach to accessible housing by setting out an expectation that planning policies for housing should make use of government standards for accessible and adaptable housing.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 17/07/2019 15:47:20 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

	uin	276197
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2019 answer text <p>Government intervention to provide funding for the removal of unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding is wholly exceptional. It is based on the unparalleled risk ACM poses, very real public safety concerns and the failure of many building owners to do the right thing by their residents.</p><p>Government intervention does not remove responsibility for overall building safety from the building owner and if fire safety risks are uncovered, they must remedy them, or potentially face enforcement action from the local authority. We have made it clear that building owners should protect leaseholders from bearing the costs of remediation, and that the clearest way to ensure safety is to remove unsafe materials.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 17/07/2019 15:36:53 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse previous answer version 129429 answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
