	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2015 answer text <p>The National Planning Policy Framework requires local authorities to plan to meet the market and affordable housing needs in their area. Local authorities are expected to work closely with key partners and their local communities in deciding what type of housing is needed and where housing development should take place. Irrespective of the landowner, planning permissions must be determined in accordance with the Local Plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. Central departments are committed to releasing surplus land they own to help meet local housing needs, with a goal of delivering 150,000 homes by 2020 and my Department will be playing a full part in this.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 23/10/2015 12:32:30 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2015 answer text <p>The Office of National Statistics has concluded that housing associations should have been classified as public rather than private since 2008, due to several of the regulatory requirements imposed by the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 introduced by the last Labour Government. This decision is purely a statistical change. Reclassification makes no material changes to the operation of housing associations. The Government is committed to developing deregulatory measures to help housing associations build more homes and help more people into home ownership.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 05/11/2015 16:50:32 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
