The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Land Use Framework on housing delivery in Buckinghamshire.

Answered by Mary Creagh

The Land Use Framework sets out a plan for how we can use our land in a more informed and more efficient way, showing there is enough land to deliver the homes our communities need, whilst protecting and enhancing the environment.

The Land Use Framework is not intended to be used as material consideration in planning decisions for the preparation of development plans or for making decisions on planning applications.

The impact of land use change for housing will be assessed as part of the implementation of the Land Use Framework and will inform policy on housing, infrastructure, food and the environment.
