answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/04/2024 answer text <p>We are taking significant steps to address the challenges to increasing housing supply around the country, including in Suffolk. We recognise the scale of challenges facing the housebuilding sector in the current macro-economic climate. Against this challenging backdrop, we have invested billions in housing since the start of this Parliament. This investment will support bringing forward land for development, enabling the market to deliver the homes and infrastructure that communities need, and support increasing local authority planning capacity.</p><p>We have also taken significant measures through the Levelling Up and Regeneration Act, and National Planning Policy Framework, to reform the planning system. These measures aim to reduce planning delays, bureaucracy, slow build-out rates, and wider barriers to growth and development.</p><p>We want decisions about homes to be driven locally and we want to get more local plans in place to deliver the homes we need. This is why we have revised the National Planning Policy Framework (published 19 December 2023) to be clearer about the importance of planning for homes and other development that our communities need.</p><p>The Department publishes an annual release entitled ‘Housing supply: net additional dwellings, England’, which is the primary and most comprehensive measure of housing supply, with estimates of new homes delivered in each local authority, including East Suffolk, in each financial year since 2001-02, shown in Live Table 122 at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-net-supply-of-housing" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-net-supply-of-housing</a>.</p><p>Figures at parliamentary constituency level are not centrally collected.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley grouped question UIN 21032 question first answered 22/04/2024 16:41:27 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2024 answer text <p>The External Wall System Review form (EWS1) is not a statutory requirement or government process. It is an industry tool to inform mortgage valuation. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) have issued guidance on the use and application of EWS1 forms.</p><p>Following the Department’s work in this area, a number of mortgage lenders have joined a voluntary commitment to offer mortgages on properties affected by building safety issues. This means that around three quarters of mortgage lending is now covered by this commitment, which commits lenders to consider mortgage applications for properties in buildings that are yet to be remediated, or where leaseholders are protected from remediation costs.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley grouped question UIN 21192 question first answered 19/04/2024 12:19:03 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley
