Housing associations who are registered providers need to adopt a code of governance and explain how they have complied with this code in annual accounts, which are required to be submitted to the Social Housing Regulator. From 2015-16, housing association accounts will also need to report compliance to the Regulator\u2019s standards. These include a requirement to ensure effective governance arrangements that deliver their aims, objectives and intended outcomes for tenants and potential tenants in a transparent and accountable manner.<\/p>"}

This Government is determined to extend home ownership to anyone that aspires to own a home of their own.<\/p>
The Department is using a range of measures, programmes and public land to stimulate and accelerate housing growth in the West Midlands.<\/p>
Investment programmes such as the Builders Finance Fund have been used to assist developers and builders to access the funds they need to undertake building activity and unlock housing growth. Through the previously announced Greater Birmingham and Solihull City Deal, we are working with Birmingham City Council to implement their public asset accelerator programme to bring public sector land to the market which would otherwise be undevelopable.<\/p>
Examples of housing coming forward in the West Midlands are 203 new homes to be built on the former Bucknall hospital site, 280 new homes and an improved retail centre at Meadway, East Birmingham, subject to planning, and 157 new homes for sale and rent at the former Dudley Guest Hospital, with a start on site scheduled next month.<\/p>
Almost 12,000 families in the West Midlands have been helped into home ownership via our Help to Buy Schemes.<\/p>
More widely, this Government is committed to increasing housing supply and home ownership in all parts of the country. Housing starts are at their highest annual level since 2007, and there are now almost 800,000 more homes in England than there were in 2009.<\/p>
The Housing Bill introduced to Parliament last week will help to deliver more homes faster by unlocking brownfield land, further improving the operation of the planning system through delivering measures in the Productivity Plan, setting out a framework for building 200,000 Starter Homes and doubling the number of custom-built and self-built homes by 2020.<\/p>

Planning law requires that applications for planning permission must be determined in accordance with the Local Development Plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. This is why our planning guidance encourages Local Minerals Plans, where appropriate, to give clear guidance and criteria for the location and assessment of hydrocarbon extraction within Petroleum Licence Areas. I refer my hon. Friend to the Written Ministerial Statements of 16 September (HCWS201 and HCWS202) which set out the Government\u2019s policy on timely decision-taking on planning applications relating to shale gas extraction.<\/p>"}
