Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Selaine Saxby (Conservative). It was answered by Andrew Selous (Conservative) on Thursday, 23 May 2024 on behalf of the Church Commissioners.
Affordable and Sustainable Housing
- Question
-
To ask the hon. Member for South West Bedfordshire, representing the Church Commissioners, whether the Church of England is taking steps to provide affordable and sustainable housing on its land.
- Answer
-
I can tell my hon. Friend that the Church Commissioners are bringing forward substantial new amounts of housing across England, including affordable homes, in accordance with local planning policy in the areas concerned. Where the commissioners are able to, we also seek to go further— for example, through the use of rural exception sites to provide a higher proportion of affordable housing than the local plan requires.
