answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2020 answer text <p>Through the Housing and Planning Act 2016 we have brought in strong enforcement powers for local authorities to tackle rogue landlords. These include the introduction of civil penalties of up to £30,000 and banning orders for use against the worst and most persistent offenders. We have also extended rent repayment orders which require a landlord to repay rent when they have not complied with the law.</p><p>My Department has also created a database of rogue landlords and property agents and as part of the Renters’ Reform Bill we have committed to opening up access to the database to empower tenants to make more informed choices.</p><p>In addition, since 2019 we have awarded over £6 million in grant funding to local authorities to boost their enforcement work, fostering innovative approaches and sharing best practice to tackle the minority of landlords who deliberately flout the law.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 09/03/2020 16:50:22 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2020 answer text <p>The Home Building Fund supports developers to either directly build new homes or to deliver the infrastructure required to enable construction of housing to start on a site. It is a market-facing fund that is available for projects that are viable investments according to our published criteria, and it does not operate on a fixed bidding timetable. Homes England market the fund through continuous market engagement including with trade bodies such as the Home Builders Federation, and any developer is free to apply to the fund through the Homes England portal. There is no predetermined geographic allocation of funding and the consideration of individual transactions is based on investment criteria around viability.</p><p>Table 1 shows the investment committed directly to individual sites in each local authority area.</p><p>In addition to investment being made in individual sites or projects, a number of large-scale investment funds and national lending alliances have also been supported through the Home Building Fund. This investment is not allocated at local authority level, so a further £354 million development finance and £90 million infrastructure investment has been invested through these national vehicles.</p><p>This data is based on projects that have been supported by investment made through the Home Building Fund since its launch in October 2016.</p><p>Table 1.
