HC Deb 17 July 2003 vol 409 c56WS

The Sustainable Communities Plan also highlighted the Government's concern that the houses built do not always adequately reflect a community's needs. The Government are working with local authorities, house-builders and other housing providers to ensure that the size and type of housing better matches need, especially by providing more homes for the increasing number of smaller households. The draft update places more emphasis, than currently in PPG3, on producing a better match between the housing planned and the needs of the community.
