answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2019 answer text <p>This Government is committed to making the housing market work. By the mid-2020s, we aim to have increased house building to an average of 300,000 net new homes a year. And as we move towards achieving this target, we will not sacrifice higher quality and standards.</p><p>We have already made commitments to provide better protection for purchasers of new build homes who experience snagging issues and we know more needs to be done. On 1 October 2018, we announced our intention for there to be a New Homes Ombudsman to protect the rights of homebuyers and hold developers to account. We also announced our intention to bring forward legislation to require all developers to belong to a New Homes Ombudsman.</p><p>On 24 January, following a wide-ranging consultation with consumers and industry, we set out our plans to strengthen consumer redress for the whole housing market. I want to help plug the gaps in available redress services so that more people can get their housing disputes resolved without going through the courts. We have also made great strides to create greater fairness in the rental market by banning unfair letting fees, capping tenancy deposits and cracking down on rogue landlords.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 30/01/2019 17:47:51 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

uin	4562
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government has an ambitious programme to bring brownfield land back into use in England and is working closely with local authorities to drive this forward. In April 2017 we introduced a requirement for local planning authorities to publish a statutory brownfield land register by the end of 2017 which will identify which previously developed sites are suitable for housing. We are currently working with representative organisations for local government to ensure local planning authorities have these brownfield land registers in place. In addition, there is continuing engagement with local authorities on a range of other programmes, including the designation of 26 Housing Zones on brownfield land, and our £1.2 billion Starter Homes Land Fund to bring forward suitable brownfield land for starter homes and other types of affordable home ownership products.</p><p /><p /> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 19/07/2017 14:01:25 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma previous answer version 5093 answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
