answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2019 answer text <p>In June 2010 the Government removed domestic gardens in built-up areas from the definition of ‘brownfield’ land. This strengthened the discretion of local authorities to refuse intrusive new dwellings on residential garden land. We retained that policy when we revised the National Planning Policy Framework in June 2018. This does not impose a complete ban on the use of redundant garden land for housing. We expect local authorities to consider what is the appropriate density for a residential area, to resist inappropriate development, and to ensure green infrastructure is maintained in built-up areas.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 15/04/2019 14:43:39 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2019 answer text <p>Our expert Rough Sleeper Initiative and Homelessness Advice and Support Team, as well as MHCLG officials, meet with local authority representatives throughout the UK on a regular basis to support their work with rough sleeping and homeless people in their area.</p><p>Sefton Local Authority which includes the town of Southport will be receiving £124,582 in funding through the Rough Sleeping Initiative to support people off the streets in 2019/20. This will be used to support homeless people with complex needs and a clinical outreach post.</p><p>The Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why last summer we published the cross-government Rough Sleeping Strategy. This sets out an ambitious £100 million package to help people who sleep rough now, but also puts in place the structures that will end rough sleeping once and for all. In its first year, the Rough Sleeping Initiative provided over 1,750 new bed spaces and 500 staff. In all, the Government has now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 09/04/2019 12:58:58 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
