We have given local authorities very strong powers to take enforcement action when they identify seriously hazardous conditions, including the power to issue heavy fines. Consideration of whether accommodation is suitable will require an assessment of all aspects of the accommodation in the light of the relevant needs, requirements and circumstances of the homeless person and their household.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley question first answered 21/09/2022 15:49:24 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/09/2022 answer text <p>The Government is committed to creating a more transparent housing system that works for everyone. We have brought forward legislation that sets ground rents on newly created leases to zero through the Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Act 2022, which came into force on 30 June 2022. <br> <br> We understand the difficulties some existing leaseholders face with high and escalating ground rents. This is why we asked the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to investigate potential mis-selling of homes and unfair terms in the leasehold sector. <br> <br> The CMA have secured commitments benefiting over 20,000 leaseholders, including commitments to return doubling ground rent terms to original rates. These settlements will help to free thousands more leaseholders from unreasonable ground rent increases. The CMA continue to engage with a number of firms and we urge other developers to follow suit.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley question first answered 26/09/2022 16:37:15 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley

Once established, Green Belt boundaries should only be altered where exceptional circumstances are fully evidenced and justified, through the preparation or updating of plans. Before concluding that exceptional circumstances exist to justify changes to Green Belt boundaries, the relevant authority should be able to demonstrate that it has examined fully all other reasonable options for meeting its identified need for development. Local plans should be shaped by early, proportionate and effective engagement between plan makers and communities.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley question first answered 22/09/2022 10:07:32 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley
