Mr Barry Sheerman:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government,
what steps he is taking to ensure that local authorities meet the requirement
for major planning developments to contain 10 per cent affordable home
ownership, as set out in the revised National Planning Policy Framework,
published July 2018.
Christopher
Pincher: The Framework does not represent a mandatory approach and local
authorities are best place to assess what is needed in their communities.
However, local authorities are expected to comply with the policy and secure
the delivery much needed affordable homes for sale, unless they are able to
provide evidence that justifies a different approach.
