uin	20849
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2016 answer text <p>National planning policy on flooding must be taken into account by local planning authorities in preparing their local plans and we are clear they should take advice from the Environment Agency and other relevant flood risk management bodies in doing so.</p><p>Additionally, a local planning authority must, as set out in the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015, consult the Environment Agency on planning applications for development proposed on a floodplain and, in determining the application, they must take into account their advice. As an added safeguard, if a local planning authority wants to approve an application that the Environment Agency has objected to because of concerns about flood risk, they must first refer it to the Secretary of State to consider whether it should be ‘called-in’. Between April 2011 and March 2015 over 99% of proposed new homes had planning outcomes in line with Environment Agency advice where they had been made aware of the decision.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 12/01/2016 16:52:39 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what plans she has to provide additional funding for local authorities to provide school crossing patrols.

uin	20758
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2016 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to make additional funding available specifically for school crossing patrols. The Education and Inspection Act 2006 (section 508A) puts a duty on local authorities to promote and establish a strategy for developing a sustainable transport infrastructure that meets the needs of children and young people in their area. This strategy should address such issues as enhanced child safety and security. School Crossing Patrols are one option that can contribute to the fulfilment of this duty. It is for local authorities and schools to determine if and how school crossing patrols are funded from the resources made available by central government.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 12/01/2016 17:53:13 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2016 answer text <p>We are committed to increasing the diversity and choice of housing for older people. We know that the right housing can help people to have the lifestyle they want in later life, and help people stay healthier for longer. The National Planning Policy Framework requires local authorities to plan for a mix of housing based on current and future demographic trends, and the needs of different groups in the area, including older people and disabled people. In March 2015 we strengthened our planning guidance further to encourage local authorities to recognise the importance for planning for older people’s housing.</p><p>Local authorities are eligible to bid for capital grant funding for specialised housing for older people, including adapted housing through the Government’s Affordable Homes Programme, which includes funding for supported housing and the Care and Support Specialised Housing Fund.</p><p>To help older people stay healthier for longer in their existing home the Government provides the Disabled Facilities Grant, which is part of the Better Care Fund. This capital grant for adaptations is paid to local authorities in England to fund the provision of home adaptations (including stair lifts, level access showers and, in some instances, home extensions) to help disabled people to live as comfortably, safely and independently as possible in their own homes for longer. In the Autumn Statement, the Chancellor announced that funding for the Grant will rise to over £500 million by 2020. Annual allocations for the Disabled Facilities Grant for each year until 2020 will be announced in due course.</p><br /> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 12/01/2016 16:26:46 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2016 answer text <p>There are different procedures for determining planning appeals according to the nature and detail of the individual case. In some cases the approach can change during the course of consideration of the specific appeal, eg it could start off as a Written Representation and then change to an Inquiry. This all depends on the documentation submitted and the criteria it fulfils. A change in the approach may involve starting afresh with the new procedure which will impact on the timetable of the appeal</p><p>The attached table shows, for the three different procedures, the average time taken, in weeks, to make decisions on planning appeals decided in each year since 2006-07, according to the procedure under which the appeal decision was taken.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 24/02/2016 16:13:59 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis attachment 1 file name 20806.docx title Table
