answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>New homes are being created now because of the permitted development right for office to residential change of use. These new homes are helping to address the country's housing need regardless of tenure. Developers seeking to convert an office to a residential property are required to seek prior approval from the local planning authority. A survey by Estates Gazette has found that there were more than 2,250 applications for change of use from office to residential in the first six months since the change was introduced. Some of these developments are, in themselves, each set to deliver more than 100 homes. The Department will begin collecting data on the number of prior approval applications from local planning authorities later in the year, covering applications from April 2014.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Nick Boles question first answered 12/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3995 label Biography information for Nick Boles previous answer version 9732 answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Nick Boles answering member 3995 label Biography information for Nick Boles
