<p>As part of its contribution to the Loneliness Strategy being led by the Department
for Culture, Media and Sport, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government
has commissioned the London School of Economics to undertake research into the benefits
of community-led housing in respect of addressing loneliness. The final report of
the research is expected in 2021.</p><p>We are currently consulting widely on the
proposals for reform set out in the Planning White Paper, and we will be listening
carefully to all the representations made, including those from organisations representing
almshouses. In relation to s106 planning obligations, we are consulting on proposals
to replace the existing system of developer contributions with a new Infrastructure
Levy, which will deliver at least as much onsite affordable housing as at present.</p><p>The
upcoming government guidance on producing local design codes will set out more detailed
parameters for key elements of successful design, recognising the need for a variety
of housing tenures, including community and co-housing schemes, to create diverse,
equitable and resilient communities. Further information on this will be published
in due course.</p>
