If local authorities need to take emergency remedial action but are unable to fund this work up front, we will consider requests for funding which would be repaid once the local authorities recover the costs from the building owner.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 11/12/2018 15:35:14 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

uin	198339
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2018 answer text <p>Under section 8 of the Housing Act 1985, there is a statutory requirement on local authorities to consider the needs of people residing or resorting to their district with respect to the provision of caravan sites. The <em>Planning Policy for Traveller Sites</em> (PPTS) sets out the Government’s planning policy for traveller sites and should be read in conjunction with the revised National Planning Policy Framework. The PPTS is clear that local planning authorities should make their own assessment of need for the purposes of planning. They should identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide 5 years’ worth of sites against their locally set targets. Travellers who do not fall within the definition in Annex 1 of the PPTS should have their housing needs assessed under the National Planning Policy Framework.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 11/12/2018 15:37:26 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
