§ Mr. SteenTo ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many houses have been built outside local plan boundaries in each of the last five years; and how many of these have been built by housing associations. [144540]
§ Keith HillPlanning Policy Guidance note 3: Housing advises that local plans and Unitary Development Plans should identify sufficient sites on the plan's proposals map to accommodate at least the first five years (or the first two phases) of housing development proposed in the plan. Local planning authorities should be monitoring closely the uptake of plan allocations and windfall provision, and the type of that provision in terms of size, type and affordability, but this information is not collected centrally, and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
