Written question asked by Lord Mann (Labour) on Tuesday, 29 November 2016, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 1 December 2016. It was answered by Lord Barwell (Conservative) on Tuesday, 6 December 2016 on behalf of the Department for Communities and Local Government.


Housing: Construction

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many housing developments in England have roads or sewerage requiring adoption after more than five years of occupation by residents.

Answer

The Department does not hold the information you request because, although the Building Regulations require new housing to have adequate drainage and access, there is no requirement for all roads or sewerage to be adopted as a matter of course. This is a matter for the developer.
