answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2022 answer text <p>My Department sets the standards that developers are required to follow including through planning requirements and building regulations. Local planning authorities and building control bodies hold enforcement powers. Developers are required to ensure that new houses are built correctly and to comply with building regulations. Building inspectors check to ensure that these requirements are met on new homes. The Department may also restrict access to Government support or funding such as Help to Buy, which has recently been used to exclude Rydon Homes where there are concerns about unacceptable business practices.</p><p>The Building Safety Bill, currently before Parliament, includes provisions to strengthen the building safety regime including through the Building Safety Regulator, which will have oversight of the whole of the built environment and the New Homes Ombudsman scheme. Developers will be required to become members of the Ombudsman scheme, which will investigate and determine complaints from new build homebuyers against their developers.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 19/01/2022 18:05:46 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2022 answer text <p>The Government is clear that unauthorised development is unacceptable and unfair to the majority who abide by the rules. It is also important that where people have made a genuine mistake, or where the development does not harm the amenity of the area, there is an opportunity to rectify the situation by submitting a retrospective planning application.</p><p>We are continuing to consider the best way forward for planning reforms, including how it can support planning enforcement. An announcement on next steps will be made shortly.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 14/01/2022 14:39:16 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
