question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many complaints have been received by his Department on (a) building defects and (b) fire safety issues relating to developments built by Redrow Homes in each of the last five years.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2020 answer text <p>The Ministry for Housing Communities and Local Government does not routinely maintain data on individual complaints it receives on specific developers. Complainants are directed to developers, the relevant complaints processes for new homes and local authorities. The Department does not deal with individual complaints but responds to correspondence advising how complaints can be resolved through existing processes. However we know that the current complaints and redress system does not provide sufficient protection for consumers and this is why we have committed to legislate to set up a New Homes Ombudsman.</p><p>The Department is committed to ensuring all buildings are built and maintained to a good standard. That is why we have announced in the Queen’s Speech that we will bring forward legislation on building safety in this parliament.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 07/01/2020 17:05:09 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2020 answer text <p>This is a devolved matter and the information provided therefore relates to England only. Regulation of incinerators in England is split between the Environment Agency (EA) and local authorities. The EA regulates incinerators with a capacity of greater than 3 tonnes per hour for non-hazardous waste and 10 tonnes per day for hazardous waste. Incinerators below this size are regulated by local authorities.</p><p> </p><p>Since the start of 2015 the EA has granted 27 permits for new incinerators which may take in waste arising from domestic, commercial and industrial sources and which can be classed under the following waste types for each year:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td rowspan="2"><p><strong>Principle waste type</strong></p></td><td colspan="5"><p><strong>Number of permits issued</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2015</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2017</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2018</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2019</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Mixed municipal waste</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Waste wood</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>-</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Refuse-derived fuel</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Solid recovered fuel</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Non-recyclable waste plastics</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The EA also refused one permit in 2016 for a mixed municipal waste incinerator because the operator had failed to demonstrate that the height of its chimney was satisfactory.</p><p> </p><p>While the EA has only refused one incinerator permit application in the last five years, other potentially unsuitable plants have been prevented during that time due to challenges from the EA, either as part of discussions before a formal application was made, or during the assessment process leading to the operator withdrawing their application. However, the EA does not keep records of such events.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 07/01/2020 11:51:12 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
