	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2019 answer text <p>Last year we revised the National Planning Policy Framework. Its policies place much stronger emphasis on making effective use of land, with authorities expected to make as much use as possible of suitable brownfield and under-used sites, and optimise densities where there is a shortage of land for meeting identified needs. The Framework is supported by permitted development rights to allow appropriate re-use of existing buildings, and the requirement for every authority to publish and maintain a register of brownfield land suitable for housing. The £4.5 billion Home Building Fund provides support for new housing, much of it on brownfield land.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 07/03/2019 16:06:25 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2019 answer text <p>Our National Planning Policy Framework states that planning policies and decisions should plan positively for the provision of open space, and that a network of high-quality open spaces and opportunities for sport and physical activity is important for the health and well-being of communities. In addition, through local or neighbourhood plans, communities can identify for protection Local Green Spaces of particular local importance. The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has consulted on how a system of biodiversity net gain might be introduced through the planning system, which could also contribute to green space in cities. The responses to that consultation are being considered at present.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 07/03/2019 16:11:04 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
