answer text <p>The £1 billion additional borrowing programme, which we launched in the summer, was over subscribed with local authorities submitting a total of almost 1,000 bids exceeding £2.8 billion additional borrowing. This scale of bids helped to demonstrate local authority demand for additional borrowing and appetite to increase council house building, and helped to inform the decision to abolish the Housing Revenue Account borrowing cap.</p><p>The Autumn Budget confirmed the complete abolition of the borrowing cap with immediate effect. With the issuing of a determination that revoked the previous determinations specifying local authority limits on indebtedness, local authorities can now borrow for house building in accordance with the Prudential Code without seeking permission for borrowing from the Government. As a result, the bids that local authorities submitted for additional borrowing through the £1 billion borrowing programme have fallen away.</p><p>We anticipate that local authorities may wish to reflect on their house building plans in light of the abolition of the borrowing cap, and may wish to develop new and even more ambitious plans for house building. In light of this, it would not be appropriate to publish details about the schemes that local authorities submitted to the £1 billion borrowing programme, as these schemes may now be out of date.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>In bringing forward permitted development rights we have recognised that the only additional funding to local planning authorities through planning obligations will be where additional floor space is created and there is a Community Infrastructure Levy charging schedule in place. We consider that the permitted development rights for the change of use to residential are of themselves making an important contribution to housing delivery, with over 18,800 homes delivered under such rights in the year to March 2017.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
