§ 9. Mr. RobathanTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what estimate he has made of the number of new homes that will need to be built in the Leicestershire countryside to accommodate projections of household growth. [19403]
§ Mr. CabornWe have made no such estimate. The number and location of new homes in Leicestershire is primarily a matter for the relevant local authority to consider through the development plan process. My Department has published projections of household growth for counties, but not for areas within them.
