(asked on 10th October 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what monitoring his Department undertakes of the number of homes built on surplus public land sold for housing development; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 13th October 2016
The current objective of the Public Land for Housing Programme is to release land with capacity for 160,000 much needed homes.
Although this is the primary objective, we plan to collect data from departments to monitor the development of sites up to completion. This will include the number of homes granted planning permission for each site and when construction starts.
