uin	43385
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2016 answer text <p>My Department has worked closely with the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) to encourage longer term tenancies in properties with a buy to let mortgage, including during the development of our Model Tenancy Agreement (MTA). The MTA enables longer tenancies, and addresses lender concerns by including appropriate break clauses. The CML estimates that the majority of buy to let mortgage lenders now permit tenancies of up to two to three years. We continue to encourage lenders to actively promote the use of the MTA to their landlord customers.</p> answering member constituency Croydon Central answering member printed Gavin Barwell question first answered 26/07/2016 10:09:50 answering member 3955 label Biography information for Lord Barwell

uin	43421
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2016 answer text <p>We are committed to supporting communities throughout the process and encouraging more communities to join them. Reforms in the Housing and Planning Act 2016 will help to speed up and simplify the neighbourhood planning process. We are looking to introduce a new package of measures that would further strengthen the neighbourhood planning process when Parliamentary time allows over the course of the second session.</p><p>The neighbourhood planning legislation means that most challenges to neighbourhood planning decisions need to be brought within six weeks of the decision that is being challenged, rather than three months for most other judicial review proceedings, with no discretion to extend the time limit. This helps ensure that any associated delays are minimal. The establishment of the Planning Court in 2014 also means that it is more likely that these cases will be heard quickly by a specialist planning judge.</p> answering member constituency Croydon Central answering member printed Gavin Barwell question first answered 26/07/2016 10:16:26 answering member 3955 label Biography information for Lord Barwell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2016 answer text <p>The Housing &amp; Planning Act 2016 extended the grounds for seeking a Rent Repayment Order to include illegal eviction, breach of a banning order or failure to comply with a statutory notice. It is envisaged that each of these will also be banning order offences. Where a person or organisation has been convicted of a banning order offence, local authorities will be encouraged to record that information in the database of rogue landlords and property agents. This will enable government to monitor how frequently Rent Repayment Orders are used.</p> answering member constituency Croydon Central answering member printed Gavin Barwell question first answered 21/07/2016 15:57:32 answering member 3955 label Biography information for Lord Barwell
