HC Deb 10 February 2000 vol 344 c232W
Mr. Webb

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has to review the rules regarding the location of the units of social housing which developers are required by local authorities to include within their developments, with particular reference to the scope for locating those units outside the local authority in question.

Ms Beverley Hughes

We have no plans to review planning policy on affordable housing. Draft PPG3: "Housing" reaffirms existing policy that local planning authorities may require an element of affordable housing to be provided in suitable residential developments where a local need exists.
