question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, following their policy of achieving net zero emissions by 2050, what plans they have to instruct local authorities to refuse planning applications for demolition and rebuilding properties when an existing building can be refurbished to modern standards.

uin	HL2320
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2020 answer text <p>Planning permission may be required to demolish a building, but if not required, the applicant may still be required to seek prior approval from the local planning authority before demolition. Where the demolition of one or more buildings is required as part of a redevelopment, details of the demolition can be included in the planning application. This will give the local planning authority the opportunity to consider demolition alongside other aspects of the development including energy efficiency. Where appropriate, the local planning authority may impose conditions on demolition if planning permission is granted.</p> answering member printed The Earl of Courtown question first answered 19/03/2020 13:52:43 answering member 3359 label Biography information for The Earl of Courtown

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2020 answer text <p>Because housing is a devolved issue, we would advise you to contact the Northern Ireland authorities for information about temporary accommodation in Northern Ireland.</p><p>The Government is clear that no one should be without a roof over their head. That is why we have now committed to end rough sleeping within this Parliament and to fully enforce the Homelessness Reduction Act (HRA).</p><p>The latest published statutory homelessness data (April-June 2019) offers promising signs regarding the impact of the HRA:</p><p>Under the HRA more households are being offered statutory support, with more single people receiving help than ever before. 65 per cent of households owed a duty were single households, compared to 30 per cent prior to the introduction of the HRA.</p><p>Most households at risk of homelessness are having it successfully prevented. 57 per cent of the households whose prevention duty ended in this period secured their existing accommodation or were helped to find alternative accommodation. 40 per cent of the households whose relief duty ended in this period were helped to find accommodation.</p><p>Local authorities will now receive an additional £63 million in 2020/21 through the Homelessness Reduction Grant to carry out these duties. This is part of a £437 million package to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over 2020/21.</p><p>In addition, the most recent national figures from the Official 2019 Rough Sleeping Snapshot, showed that the number of people sleeping on our streets on a single night fell for the second year in a row. The number of those sleeping rough on one night in 2019 was 9 per cent lower than the previous year.  This follows year-on-year increases prior to 2018.</p> answering member printed The Earl of Courtown question first answered 19/03/2020 13:47:57 answering member 3359 label Biography information for The Earl of Courtown
