Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what plans the Department has to carry out an assessment of the costs of providing infrastructure to deliver new homes.

In general, it is for Local Planning Authorities to assess infrastructure needs and set out contributions required from developers to support new homes in their local plans. Where local authorities have bid to the Housing Infrastructure Fund to unlock homes, the Government is assessing these to ensure good value for money
