The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of airspace development to help tackle housing shortages.

The Government recognises the value of upward extensions in delivering urban intensification where appropriate. We are consulting on further support for upward extensions as part of our consultation on proposed reforms to the National Planning Policy Framework and other changes to the planning system, which began on Tuesday 30 July and closes on Tuesday 24 September.
