question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether the default measure of housing supply derived under the standardised methodology can be bypassed where a Local Plan has been submitted under the transitional arrangements which meets its objectively assessed need; whether increased weight can be attributed to the emerging plan in respect of a five-year housing land supply; and if he will make a statement.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2019 answer text <p>Local planning authorities who submitted their local plans by 24 January this year are not bound to use the standard method. Instead their assessment of housing need should have been generated using policy in the previous National Planning Policy Framework. Under this, authorities were still expected to identify their full housing needs.</p><p>The revised Framework retains the pre-existing policy that weight may be given to emerging policies (including the land supply policies) according to how advanced the plan is, the extent to which there are any unresolved objections and the degree of consistency between the emerging policies and national planning policy. In the case of plans submitted during the transitional arrangement, these are policies in the previous framework.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 13/03/2019 16:23:02 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2019 answer text <p>The display of advertisements is controlled by reference to their effect on amenity and public safety. Where express consent to display an advertisement is needed, local planning authorities are required to consider the effect on amenity and public safety, taking account of cumulative impacts. Depending on the location and nature of a proposed advertisement, this could include consideration of the impacts of light pollution on local residents. This is a matter of judgement for local planning authorities.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 13/03/2019 16:23:25 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government fully recognises the important role small and medium sized house builders (SME) play in delivering much needed housing in this country. We have already put in place a number of initiatives to help SME builders overcome barriers, specifically access to finance through the provision of the £4.5 billion Home Building Fund. £2.5 billion of which provides short term loans to SME housebuilders, custom builders and innovators. £110 million of that funding has been used to set up The Housing Growth Partnership. <br> <br>Launched in 2015, this is a £220 million partnership between Lloyds Bank and Homes England and is supporting the growth of SME house builders and expansion in the UK housing stock. It will deliver 3,400 homes. In addition, the Home Building Fund has also provided £125 million for the the Housing Delivery Fund launched by Barclays Bank and Homes England, in September 2018. The £1 billion development finance Fund will help build thousands of new homes across England. Of the £1 billion fund, Barclays is providing £875 million. <br> <br>A key priority of The Housing Delivery Fund is to support small and medium sized businesses to develop homes for rent or sale including social housing, retirement living and the private rented sector, whilst also supporting innovation in the model of delivery such as brownfield land and urban regeneration projects.</p><p>The Chancellor announced at Budget 2018 that the British Business Bank will deliver a new scheme providing guarantees to support up to £1 billion of lending to SME house builders. My Department and Homes England are currently working with the British Business Bank to implement this scheme.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse grouped question UIN 228143 228147 question first answered 11/03/2019 17:49:47 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

uin	229077
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government amended national planning policy in August 2015 to make intentional unauthorised development a material consideration in the determination of planning applications and appeals. In April 2018 the Government consulted on the range of powers available to local authorities, the police and landowners for dealing with unauthorised development and encampments. In our response to that consultation, published in February 2019, we committed to strengthening policy on intentional unauthorised development and will consult on proposed measures shortly. This forms part of a comprehensive package of measures announced in February 2019, which includes:</p><ul><li>stronger powers for the police to respond to unauthorised encampments;</li><li>practical and financial support for local authorities to deal with unauthorised encampments;</li><li>support for traveller-site provision; and</li><li>support for the travelling community to improve life chances.</li></ul><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 14/03/2019 15:00:31 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 5 March 2019 to Question 227110 on Buildings: Insulation, when the BS 8414 test will take place; and whether combustible insulation behind that cladding will be tested.
tabling member constituency	Croydon North
tabling member printed	Mr Steve Reed
uin	229147
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2019 answer text <p>The date for the test will be dependent on the availability of test rigs. It is proposed that the test should be carried out with an HPL panel and stone wool insulation. The advice of the Department’s Independent Expert Advisory Panel, set out in a Departmental advice note to building owners issued in December 2017 and revised in December 2018, is clear that combustible insulation or cladding presents a risk of fire spread on existing high rise buildings unless installed as part of a system that has passed the BS 8414 test. Their advice to building owners is that unsafe materials should be replaced with materials that are non-combustible or of limited combustibility.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 11/03/2019 16:25:08 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
