question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the effect of the Government's housing standard methodology on the greenbelt in Hertfordshire.

uin	170744
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2021 answer text <p>To help enable England to deliver 300,000 homes a year by the mid-2020s, in December we changed the formula for assessing local housing need to increase need in our 20 most populated urban areas following consultation. There were no changes to the approach in Hertfordshire and so local housing need will continue to be calculated in the same way they had been previously. The uplift aims to maximise use of existing infrastructure and to support development that reduces the need for high-carbon travel. It also supported our wider objectives of regenerating brownfield sites, renewal and levelling up.</p><p>The standard method is only the starting point in the process of planning for new homes. Councils decide their own housing target once they have taken account of local constraints (such as Green Belt) that prevent it from allocating enough sites to meet need. As we set out in our manifesto, we will continue to protect and enhance the Green Belt. Our revised National Planning Policy Framework is still clear that most new building is inappropriate in Green Belt, and should be refused planning permission unless there are very special circumstances. Policy on the Green Belt will remain a local decision for local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 25/03/2021 17:56:38 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

tabling member constituency	St Albans
tabling member printed	Daisy Cooper
uin	156582
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2021 answer text <p>We must ensure that the remediation of unsafe cladding systems is not delayed by funding shortfalls. This is why when Government funding is being used for cladding remediation, the applicant must ensure they have funds for ineligible works, if these are being performed as part of the same project. If the applicant chooses to perform other fire safety works as separate projects, this will not affect the payment of funding for cladding remediation.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 25/02/2021 17:07:02 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
