The Secretary of State has received a number of requests for him to call in the planning applications for the development of Rivenhall Integrated Waste Facility. As is normal practice, he will consider the planning issues raised by the applications in the light of call in policy if Essex County Council resolves to approve them. The comments you make will be taken into a consideration. In the meantime, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the proposals.

The Government collects quarterly and annual statistics on how many people make homelessness applications to local authorities in England. This information can be found here:<\/p>
https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/homelessness-statistics<\/a>.<\/p> Details on homelessness in Scotland can be found here:<\/p> https://www2.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/Browse/Housing-Regeneration/RefTables<\/a>.<\/p> Current data tools do not allow for an estimate of the number of veterans who are homeless. However, in April 2018 the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government introduced a new, case-level data collection called H-CLIC (Homelessness Case Level Information Collection), from which the first tranche of data will be released in due course. This will give local authorities and Government more information regarding homelessness and those presenting as homeless, including if they are a previous member of the armed forces and have support needs.<\/p>"}
