answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2021 answer text <p>The Government is committed to increasing the number of self and custom build homes and community-led housing in this country, and to establish it as a mainstream option for people to choose to get on the housing ladder or when moving home. The Planning Bill will simplify and modernise the planning system. It will establish a clear set of rules, on questions ranging from where communities want homes to be built to the high design and environmental standards that must be met. Both those looking to self and custom build their own home and SME housebuilders will find this system much easier, less costly and quicker to navigate, with more land available for development and clearer expectations on the types of development permitted.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Greenhalgh question first answered 05/07/2021 14:55:05 answering member 4877 label Biography information for Lord Greenhalgh

Data provided by Homes England in May indicated that it had received applications for funding from projects anticipating the delivery of a total of 10,780 homes, 4,347 of which from applications that have been approved. The overwhelming majority of the funding requested was in the form of revenue grant to cover pre-development costs.

Data provided by the GLA in December indicates a current pipeline of up to 1,387 community-led homes for which funding applications may be made to the GLA.</p> answering member printed Lord Greenhalgh question first answered 20/01/2021 16:03:37 answering member 4877 label Biography information for Lord Greenhalgh
