answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2019 answer text <p>The design quality of homes and places are determined by the revised National Planning Policy Framework and Building Regulations, to which all house builders have to adhere. It is for local planning authorities to assess the design quality of schemes submitted to them, on the basis of national and local policy, and regulation. <br> <br> It is also vital that, as housing supply increases, the build quality of new build homes continues to improve. We know more needs to be done to strengthen consumer redress for purchasers of new build homes delivered by all sizes of developers, which is why on 1 October, we announced our intention for there to be a New Homes Ombudsman to protect the rights of homebuyers and hold developers to account. When Parliamentary time allows, we intend to introduce legislation to require developers of new build homes to belong to a New Homes Ombudsman, which will be underpinned in statute. <br> <em> <em> <em> <br></em></em></em></p><p> </p><p><em> <br> <br> <br></em></p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 27/02/2019 12:48:19 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2019 answer text <p>The Government recognises that building more homes needs a modern home building industry, with greater capacity to deliver. We are therefore keen to see all house builders, including Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs), embrace innovation and take advantage of new technologies to build good-quality homes more quickly and offer higher-energy efficiency to buyers.</p><p>We continue to improve access to finance for small and medium-sized builders, to help them deliver more homes including through diversifying and using offsite construction methods to build new homes.</p><p>We are providing financial support through the Home Building Fund which provides short term and long term loan finance to build the homes this country needs. At Autumn budget 2017, the successful Home Building Fund was increased by £1.5 billion to a total of £2.5 billion for investment in SMEs, custom builders and builders using modern methods of construction who cannot easily access finance. This funding will deliver at least 52,000 homes by 2022/23 and 94 per cent of contracted spend to date has been invested in SMEs.</p><p>In addition, Government announced up to £1 billion guarantee scheme at Autumn budget 2018. This will be available to lenders to provide new finance to SMEs. The guarantee scheme will be launched in early 2019/20.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse grouped question UIN 223120 question first answered 27/02/2019 14:04:02 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
