Housing: Construction
Asked by: John Milne (Liberal Democrat - Horsham) Monday 15th September 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 14 July 2025 to Question 65505 on Housing: Construction, what her planned timetable is for improving the system of developer contributions. Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The government has already taken important steps to strengthen the system of developer contributions. This includes the introduction of new ‘Golden Rules’ for major development involving the provision of housing on land within or released from the Green Belt, and other changes to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) published in December 2024 which will support the increased provision of affordable housing and infrastructure.
The government is taking further action by giving all mayors of strategic authorities the power to raise a Mayoral Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) through the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill.
We have also committed to updating the planning practice guidance on viability to ensure that the system works to optimise developer contributions, allowing negotiation only where genuinely necessary.
Details of any further changes to strengthen the system of developer contributions will be set out in due course. |

Planning: Health Services
Asked by: John Milne (Liberal Democrat - Horsham) Friday 19th September 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps she is taking to increase the role of health commissioners in the planning system. Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) Health commissioners already have opportunities to engage in the planning system through consultations on Local Plans and planning applications. They are expected to advise on how developments may impact health services and to support the planning and delivery of appropriate infrastructure.
While their role is not statutory, many local authorities have adopted protocols to formalise engagement with health commissioners, reflecting a broader shift toward place-based planning and integrated service delivery.
We have no current plans to change these arrangements or to increase their formal role in the planning system. |
