answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2021 answer text <p>The £1.3 billion Land Assembly Fund enables Homes England to work alongside private developers to acquire and de-risk sites and make them attractive for private sector firms to rapidly build out homes. This will help release land to deliver 300,000 new homes a year by the mid-2020s.

The Framework states that most new building is inappropriate in Green Belt and should be refused planning permission unless there are very special circumstances, and that only in exceptional circumstances may a Green Belt boundary be altered. We have been clear in our reform proposals, set out in the White Paper <em>Planning for the Future,</em> that existing policy for protecting the Green Belt would remain.</p><p>Consultation on the White Paper closed on 29 October 2020. My Department is undertaking further detailed policy development on individual elements of the proposals, and we will announce any next steps as soon as practicable.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 02/03/2021 14:57:03 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
