HC Deb 23 March 1982 vol 20 c314W
Mr. Hastings

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the total number of new houses proposed under the current structure plans.

Mr. Giles Shaw

No exact total can be derived from the plans. In broad terms structure plans in England provide for 180,000 to 190,000 dwellings annually.

Mr. Hastings

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the total number of additional houses by which he has expanded the targets proposed in the structure plans; and what proportion of these will have to be built on green field sites and farm land.

Mr. Giles Shaw

In structure plans in England my right hon. Friend has provided for a net total increase of about 86,000 dwellings. The precise location of these dwellings has yet to be determined.
