uin	254103
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government recognises that the community-led housing sector – of which Community Land Trusts are an important part – offers significant potential for helping to meet housing need across England, especially in rural areas. In addition to helping increase the rate of delivery of new housing, the sector will help deliver a range of benefits including diversifying the housebuilding sector, improving design and construction quality, developing modern methods of construction, and sustaining local communities and local economies. The support and close involvement of the local community enables the community-led approach to secure planning permission and deliver housing that could not be brought forward through speculative development.</p><p>The principal means by which my Department supports Community Land Trusts is through the annual £60 million Community Housing Fund. This fund makes revenue and capital grant available to support community-led housebuilding schemes, and supports a programme of training and development for organisations providing technical advice and guidance to community-led housebuilding groups. The Fund is currently scheduled to close in March 2020 and decisions on funding for 2020-21 onwards are a matter for the Spending Review, which will take place this year.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 20/05/2019 14:38:50 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many local authorities have taken enforcement action where owners of private sector high-rise residential buildings with unsafe aluminium composite material have refused to remediate those buildings.

tabling member printed	Mr Steve Reed
uin	254197
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/05/2019 answer text <p>The private sector remediation fund, announced on 9 May, will cover remediation costs of all private sector high-rise (over 18 metres) residential buildings with unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding, except where a warranty claim has been accepted. To support the fund, local authorities have a range of enforcement powers, including serving improvement notices or undertaking emergency remedial work themselves. We are backing local authorities taking enforcement action where building owners are refusing to remediate high-rise buildings with unsafe cladding.  <br> <br> We are engaging with local authorities who are taking, or are considering taking, enforcement action for buildings with unsafe ACM. It is for each local authority to decide if enforcement action is appropriate on their buildings.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 20/05/2019 14:36:46 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
