We do not therefore intend to make a request under section 4 of the 2007 Act for the Local Government Boundary Commission to advise on that proposal.</p> more like this

All such discussions are in the context of the Government’s clear recognition of the independence of the Commission and an appreciation of the Commission’s published guidance on electoral matters and its aim that electoral arrangements for councils should seek to be fair and deliver equality of representation for electors.</p> more like this

answer text <p>It is through the electoral reviews undertaken by the independent Local Government Boundary Commission for England that there can be confidence about equality of representation for electors. Where new unitary councils are set up their electoral arrangements for the first election will be established either through a Commission’s electoral review, or if an early review is not practicable, provided for in the order creating the new council drawing on existing electoral arrangements established by the Commission for predecessor councils. In the latter case it is expected that the Commission would undertake a review for subsequent elections, particularly if it judged that equality of representation for electors was not being effectively delivered.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The revised National Planning Policy Framework includes policy that provision of affordable housing should not be sought for residential developments that are not major developments, which for housing is defined as development where 10 or more homes will be provided. This strikes a balance between increasing self-build and small-scale housing development, while recognising the role of section 106 in helping to provide affordable housing.</p> more like this
