Brownfield Sites
Asked by: Rachel Gilmour (Liberal Democrat - Tiverton and Minehead) Tuesday 27th January 2026 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what support and encouragement the Government is giving to local authorities to fast-track planning applications for developments on brownfield sites. Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The National Planning Policy Framework makes clear that substantial weight should be given to the value of using suitable brownfield land within settlements to meet the need for homes and other uses.
The revised Framework published on 12 December 2024 broadened the definition of brownfield land, set a strengthened expectation that applications on brownfield land will be approved, and made clear that plans should promote an uplift in density in urban areas. The definition in question can be found in the NPPF glossary on gov.uk here.
The government is currently consulting on a new National Planning Policy Framework that includes clearer, ‘rules based’ policies for decision-making and plan-making. For further details about the proposed changes to national planning policy and wider funding and support, I refer the hon. Member to the Written Ministerial Statement made on 16 December 2025 (HCWS1187). The consultation can be found on gov.uk here and will remain open for responses until 10 March 2026. |

Dental Services: Standards
Asked by: Rachel Gilmour (Liberal Democrat - Tiverton and Minehead) Tuesday 10th February 2026 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of an increase in urgent care Units of Dental Activity on trends in the level of the provision of routine and preventative NHS dental care. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) We recognise that urgent, routine, and preventative dental care is important and we are taking steps to address this. We are committed to delivering fundamental reform of the dental contract before the end of this Parliament. As a first step, on 16 December we published the Government’s response to the public consultation on quality and payment reforms to the National Health Service dental contract. The changes will be introduced from April 2026, and an impact assessment will be published. The proposals are intended to make it easier for those who need dental care and treatment by requiring all dental practices to provide an agreed amount of urgent and unscheduled care which is accessible to all who need it, irrespective of whether they have been to the practice before. Further information is available at the following link:
We have invested £11 million in 147 local authorities in 2025/26, alongside an innovative partnership with Colgate-Palmolive, to rollout a national targeted supervised toothbrushing programme for three to five-year-olds. This will reach up to 600,000 children targeted in the 20% most deprived areas of England to reduce inequalities. |
