Helen Hayes:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government,
what steps his Department is taking to ensure proposed new permitted
development rights do not adversely affect the quality of housing with respect
to (a) size and (b) safety regulations.
Kit Malthouse:
Our recent consultation, “Planning Reform: Supporting the high street and
increasing the delivery of new homes” sought views on new permitted development
rights to help deliver more homes. All homes, whether granted permission through
a national permitted development right or on a planning application are
required to meet Building Regulations, including fire safety. We are currently
considering the responses received to the consultation. Decisions will be taken
in due course on the consultation proposals to be taken forward.
