answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government is committed to using existing mechanisms of land value capture as effectively as possible. We have recently introduced major reforms to the planning rulebook to help local authorities capture land value for affordable housing, and make sure developers know the contributions expected of them. At Autumn Budget we also announced further reforms to improve the existing system of developer contributions. The key objectives of these reforms are to make the system of developer contributions more transparent and accountable. However, we recognise more needs to be done, and will continue to explore options to go further. Through the Housing and Planning Act 2016 and Neighbourhood Planning Act 2017, the Government has taken forward wide-ranging reforms to make the compulsory purchase process clearer, fairer and faster for all. We are keen to let these recent reforms bed in but will continue to monitor their practical application. We announced at Budget a £10 million fund to support local authorities that want to establish delivery vehicles that have strong land assembly powers, and in the Summer legislated to enable the creation of locally-accountable New Town Development Corporations. We note the report by the APPG on land value capture, the HCLG Select committee has also recently held an inquiry on Land Value Capture and the Government is due to respond to the Committee’s recommendations shortly.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 22/11/2018 16:06:34 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2018 answer text <p>The Community Housing Fund is currently scheduled to close in March 2020, at the end of the current Spending Review period. While the Homes England programme to deliver the Fund outside London was launched relatively recently, I hope that there is still sufficient time for community-led schemes to access funding and deliver housing, although I appreciate that this will be more difficult for very new schemes. All proposals to extend the scheme beyond March 2020 will be given due consideration. Factors that will need to be taken into account in considering any extension are likely to include the value for money being achieved by the Fund and the extent to which it has been successful in increasing the number of community-led housing schemes either completed or in progress.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 22/10/2018 14:18:44 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
