Rachael Maskell:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government,
what steps he is taking to encourage housing developers to build more council
and other forms of social housing.
Christopher
Pincher: The new Affordable Homes Programme will deliver more than double
the number of homes for social rent than the current programme, with around
32,000 social rent homes due to be delivered. We are reforming the planning
system and have set out our ambition that the new Infrastructure Levy will
raise more than the existing system of developer contributions, and deliver at
least as much onsite affordable housing. We propose that local authorities
should be able to specify the forms and tenures of onsite provision, working
with a nominated affordable housing provider.
