Ms Nusrat Ghani:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if
he will review the five-year plan to assume that homes will be built within
five years to remove incentives for developers to delay development and
speculate on land.
Christopher
Pincher: The National Planning Policy Framework is clear that local
planning authorities should identify and update annually a supply of specific
deliverable sites sufficient to provide a minimum of five years' worth of
housing against their housing requirement set out in adopted strategic
policies. The Government wants to see homes built faster and expects house
builders to build out as soon as possible once planning permission is granted.
Where build-out is delayed, it is for councils and developers to work closely
together to overcome any barriers. To support them, this Government is looking
at strengthening the tools available to local authorities to encourage faster
build out rates.
