Greg Mulholland: To ask the Secretary of State for
Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the adequacy
of powers available to community groups to appeal against housing development
targets drawn up by local authorities.
Gavin Barwell: Local authority housing targets must be
based on an objectively assessed evidence of need and the capacity to meet that need. There are
opportunities for community groups and local residents to raise their concerns
about proposed housing targets through public consultation on an emerging Local
Plan, and again at the independent examination which must be undertaken before
the Local Plan can be adopted
