In the three years to March 2018, 46,000 homes were delivered under the rights, including 42,000 from office to residential. The prior approval process provides a streamlined planning process, and this is reflected in the fee. To support local planning authorities planning fees were increased by 20 per cent in 2018. This increase was ring fenced to ensure the funding benefited planning services directly.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>There are no plans to make the Association of Residential Managing Agents (ARMA) a member of the Regulation of Property Agents Working Group. The composition of the working group's membership needs to reflect a balance of interests between property agents and housing consumers. Already included within the working group are two professional bodies with knowledge and experience of property management: the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors and the Institute of Residential Property Management. Both these organisations have members who are also members of ARMA, or work on behalf of them. The working group will wish to invite others to personally provide evidence and give their views. When the working group discusses managing agents, ARMA will be at the forefront of the list of organisations for this purpose.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 03/12/2018 16:27:40 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

uin	162586
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2018 answer text <p>The current definition of affordable housing was recently consulted on as part of the revised draft National Planning Policy Framework. This is in line with the existing statutory definition of social housing as set out in legislation from the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008. Eligibility is determined with regard to local incomes and local house prices, and the Framework does require that plan making authorities should identify the size, type and tenure of homes required for those who require affordable housing. This is a matter to be determined at a local level based on relevant evidence which may include consideration of average local earnings. We intend to publish the final version of the revised Framework before summer recess.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 18/07/2018 13:57:34 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
