answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2016 answer text <p>We are clear that sites which are granted planning permission should be built-out as quickly as possible. We believe the best way to achieve faster build out is for developers and authorities to work closely together, at a local level, to overcome any barriers to development. In addition the government is already taking steps to tackle delays in build out, for example, by taking forward measures through the Neighbourhood Planning Bill to improve the use of planning conditions. We have also launched the £3 billion Home Building Fund, a fund which will provide loans for SME builders, custom builders and offsite construction, and which will unlock large sites throughout England. Introducing financial penalties, such as additional council tax for slow build carries risks of unintended consequences, such as deterring applications on sites with marginal viability.</p> answering member constituency Croydon Central answering member printed Gavin Barwell question first answered 07/11/2016 16:44:42 answering member 3955 label Biography information for Lord Barwell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2016 answer text <p>Government believes that building more affordable homes for people, whatever their age, will lead to a housing market that meets everyone's needs. That’s why we have doubled the housing budget. We now have the largest affordable housing programme for 40 years, with £8 billion set aside to help build 400,000 affordable homes over the next five years. The forthcoming White Paper will look at ways we can go further.</p><p>The National Planning Policy Framework is clear that local authorities must plan for everyone in their community. This is because local authorities are best placed to consider what services, including retirement services, meet local needs. Local Plans should address the needs of older people as well as the needs of families and other households. In recognition of the challenges and opportunities presented by our ageing society, we recommend that Local Plans be drawn up over an appropriate time scale, preferably a 15-year time horizon, to take account of longer-term requirements.</p> answering member constituency Croydon Central answering member printed Gavin Barwell grouped question UIN 51698 question first answered 07/11/2016 16:49:00 answering member 3955 label Biography information for Lord Barwell
