answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2019 answer text <p>The Government does not monitor the number of authorities with a five year supply of housing land, as it is a dynamic measure that can change frequently as new permissions are granted and sites are built-out.</p><p>The revised National Planning Policy Framework, published in July 2018, allows local planning authorities adopting new plans to ‘fix’ their five year land supply for a period of a year, and subsequently to renew this using annual position statements. This will allow a more transparent and stable assessment of five year supply in those areas that choose to confirm their supply position in this way.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 22/02/2019 11:39:42 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
