Lord Ezra

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Chairman of the SERPLAN Members Policy Group has advised on the distribution of dwellings to be built in the South East up to 2016 in the light of the policies set out in the Planning Policy Guidance Note 3 and of the proposed changes to the Draft Regional Planning Guidance for the South East (RPG9), as requested by the Minister for Housing and Planning in March; and, if so, when this advice will be made public. [HL3896]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (Lord Whitty)

No, SERPLAN have not advised further on the distribution of dwellings. The Government are carefully considering all the representations received on draft regional planning guidance.
