answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2018 answer text <p>The Regulator of Social Housing operates independently within the framework set by legislation and sets its own criteria that applicants for registration must meet. Local authorities that own housing stock are automatically registered and private organisations such as housing associations can voluntarily apply to register. Any applicant that is eligible for registration and meets these criteria must be registered.</p><p>The current process of registration is designed to provide the Regulator of Social Housing with assurance that providers are well-managed and financially viable. Almost all new applicants for registration have plans to provide fewer than 100 homes. The Regulator intends to publish a document in the new year which sets out some of the common issues it sees in applications for registration which should be of help to potential applicants.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 12/12/2018 14:14:12 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2018 answer text <p>Council tenants from Barandon Walk, Testerton Walk, Hurstway Walk, Treadgold House and Bramley House who do not feel able to remain in their homes are eligible to be rehoused under the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) Wider Grenfell Rehousing Policy. As of 10 December 2018, 2 of these households are in emergency accommodation (1 is in a hotel, 1 is in a serviced apartment) and 58 households are currently living in temporary accommodation, whilst awaiting a permanent home through the Council’s Housing Register. 7 households have moved to new permanent accommodation and 62 households have now returned to their home on the Lancaster West Estate. In order to prevent individual households being made identifiable, I am unable to provide a breakdown of the location of these households based on which part of the Estate they originally lived in.</p><p>My Department has been working with RBKC to ensure as many residents who feel able to do so can return to their homes, including making improvements to properties on the wider Lancaster West Estate. The Government has allocated £15 million at Autumn Budget 2017 which is being matched by RBKC to invest into the estate to make it a model for social housing and a great place to live. Where residents feel unable to return they have been given priority points on the Housing Register to find permanent homes and in the meantime residents have been offered fully furnished high quality temporary homes that are of comparable quality to permanent housing.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 18/12/2018 16:19:34 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 90977 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2018 answer text <p>Developers of new estates may voluntarily provide open spaces for residents or be required, as a planning condition, to include public open spaces and make provision for its future upkeep. It is up to developers and local planning authorities to agree appropriate funding arrangements for those developments where public open space is a planning condition. The Government believes that it should be clear to potential purchasers what the arrangements are for the upkeep of open space - public or otherwise. The Government is committed to providing freeholders with new rights to ensure that where they do pay charges for the maintenance of communal areas and facilities on a private or mixed use estate, they can access equivalent rights as leaseholders to challenge their reasonableness. We set out our proposed approach to implementing these measures in part 4 of the recent leasehold reform consultation which closed on 26 November this year.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 12/12/2018 14:12:45 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
