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 to Question 18620 on 23 July 2026, on Housing: Land Use, what assessment her Department has made of the comparative infrastructure requirements and public-sector costs associated with delivering housing on (a) brownfield, (b) urban greenfield, (c) Grey Belt and (d) Green Belt sites; and whether those costs are reflected in the assumptions underpinning the 1.5 million homes target.

My Department has made no such specific assessments.

It is for local planning authorities, through local development plans, to address needs and opportunities in relation to infrastructure, identify what infrastructure is required, and how it can be funded and brought forward.
