Written question asked by Nick Raynsford (Labour) on Tuesday, 3 March 2015, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Friday, 6 March 2015 (named day). It was answered by Brandon Lewis (Conservative) on Friday, 6 March 2015 on behalf of the Department for Communities and Local Government.


Housing: Construction

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made of the (a) distribution between each local authority in England of the total number of homes built under the proposed starter homes exceptions policy over the next five years and (b) amount of section 106 and community infrastructure levy contributions foregone as a consequence of this policy.

Answer

Further to my Written Ministerial Statement of 2 March 2015, Official Report, Column 42-44WS, we do not anticipate any shortfall, as these are homes which would not otherwise have been built.

Councils will still benefit from the New Homes Bonus and council tax receipts from the new homes.
