The changes in home ownership rate between 2015-16 and 2016-17 for each NS-SEC classification, including the decline for routine occupations, is not statistically significant. We will continue to monitor this closely as further data is collected.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 20/05/2019 14:39:56 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

The percentage of new residential addresses created in 2017-18 that were in National Flood Zone 3 is due to be published in an updated version of Table P320 on 31 May</p><p><br> All local planning authorities are expected to follow the strict tests set out in national planning policy and guidance, which includes steering development away from high risk flood areas. Where development in flood risk areas is considered, national planning policy is clear that it should be safe, resilient and not increase flood risk anywhere. We have been clear that new housing is not appropriate and should not be allowed in a functional floodplain, where water has to flow or be stored in times of flood.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 15/05/2019 16:42:37 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse previous answer version 117985 answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
