Local Plans
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of speeding up local plan adoption on annual housing supply in each of the next five years.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
My Department has made no such assessment as we do not forecast or project housing delivery for individual local planning authorities.
We expect the new plan-making system to have a positive impact on housing supply by helping ensure there is a more sustainable pipeline of land for development.
