The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to take steps to support self and custom build housing.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

The recent consultation on proposed reforms to the National Planning Policy Framework included changes designed to strengthen support for self and custom build housing by means of encouraging mixed tenure development and strengthening the small sites policy.

The consultation closed on the 24 September and officials in my department are currently analysing responses with a view to publishing a government response before the end of the year.
