Housing: Construction
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, for what reason the in perpetuity provision applicable to discounts in rural exceptions sites is not applied to homes developed under the starter homes exceptions policy.
- Answer
-
The Government believes a five year restriction on the sale or letting of a Starter Home at its open market value under the new Starter Home exception sites planning policy strikes the right balance between discouraging short term speculation and enabling this generation of young first buyers into homeownership.
