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
