To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made, if any, of the incentives required to encourage housing developers to join a voluntary energy-use monitoring scheme.
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made, if any, of the incentives required to encourage housing developers to join a voluntary energy-use monitoring scheme.
We are committed to ensuring that good quality homes are built which meet the energy efficiency standards they were designed to. That is why, as part of the Future Homes and Buildings Standards consultation, we are consulting on introducing a post-occupancy fabric performance testing scheme for new homes.
We are proposing that developers opt-in to performance testing a proportion of their new homes. This would enable us to gather better data on how significantly new homes are underperforming.
We envisage that many developers will opt-in to the performance testing scheme and have been encouraged by work some developers are already doing to monitor and improve the actual performance of their homes.

There are regular monitoring points throughout projects’ lifetime.
To assess whether the Community Ownership Fund is delivering its four strategic objectives, we will undertake high-quality, robust evaluations.

The department has engaged regularly with Birmingham City Council, including in recent months over the pressures it faces around its failed implementation of the Oracle IT system and its unresolved equal pay liability. We have expressed serious concern over the Council's governance arrangements, and, in April, I requested that the Council commission an independent governance review, which will report on its findings in the coming weeks. I have placed a copy of my correspondence from August with the Leader of the Council in the Library of the House of Commons.
Councils are responsible for their own financial management. The department stands ready to speak to any council that has concerns about its ability to manage its finances. The decision to issue a Section 114 report is a local one, taken by the statutory chief finance officer.
In line with the practice of successive administration, details of internal discussions are not normally disclosed.
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what measures his Department has in place to (a) regulate the carbon footprint of new buildings; and in what way those regulations are monitored and (b) reported on for new builds.

The 2021 Net Zero Strategy set out Government's ambition to help the construction sector improve reporting on embodied carbon in buildings and confirmed we are exploring the potential of maximum embodied carbon levels in new buildings in the future.
We have taken action to reduce the in-use emissions of buildings by introducing an uplift to energy efficiency regulations in 2021 and will shortly consult on the Future Homes and Buildings Standards which will see new homes net zero ready from 2025 onwards, thus requiring no further retrofit work as the electricity grid decarbonises. The energy performance of new buildings can be assessed by viewing the associated Energy Performance Certificates which are publicly available and are produced when the building is completed.

We have consulted on an increase planning fees by 35% for major applications and 25% for all other applications. This additional funding could be used to monitor compliance with conditions, including those attached to appeal decisions. Further announcements will be set out in the usual way.

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether he has had discussions with property developers on the potential merits of creating legal requirements for air pollution monitors to be built onto new properties or estates for the provision of localised data.

There are already strong protections in place in national planning policy to safeguard people from unacceptable risks from air pollution. These will be material considerations for a local council when determining a planning application, as will the planning concerns of the local community.
The National Planning Policy Framework is clear that new development should be appropriate for its location, taking account of the effects of pollution on people's health. The planning guidance which supports the National Planning Policy Framework sets out when air quality could be relevant to a planning decision, including requirements for an Environmental Impact Assessment.
There are currently more than 500 air quality monitoring sites, managed at least partly by the Environment Agency, across the United Kingdom, made up of 14 networks measuring a range of pollutants, which provide information to the public. These are managed by the Environment Agency on behalf of Defra.
To ask His Majesty's Government how many local authorities conduct regular pollution monitoring of (1) air, (2) noise, and (3) land, contamination on authorised Traveller sites.
To ask His Majesty's Government how many local authorities conduct regular pollution monitoring of (1) air, (2) noise, and (3) land, contamination on authorised Traveller sites.
The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) does not hold data centrally on the location of authorised traveller sites. The Planning Policy for Traveller Sites states that Local Planning Authorities, when developing their Local Plan, should ensure that traveller sites are sustainable economically, socially and environmentally.
Under the Local Air Quality Management Framework, as part of the Environment Act, all Local Authorities in England are required to assess air quality in their area.
The Government does not hold centrally information on complaints for statutory nuisances. Section 78R of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 requires Local Authorities and the Environment Agency to keep a public register about contaminated land in their respective areas.

Part 4 of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 introduced new duties on local authorities which came into force on 1 October 2021 to provide support to victims of domestic abuse and their children in safe accommodation. Backed by £125 million in both 2021/22 and 2022/23 and on 12 December 2022 we announced a further two years of government funding - £127.3 million and £129.7 million for the delivery of these duties in 2023/24 and 2024/25.
Under the duties local authorities are required to assess the local support needs of all victims and commission support to meet the identified needs in safe accommodation. Local authorities are required to report annually to my department on how they have delivered their duties. A Domestic Abuse Safe Accommodation National Expert Steering Group, chaired by the Minister for Housing and Homelessness and co-chaired by the Domestic Abuse Commissioner has been set up to monitor delivery of the new duties. The Group will publish an annual report summarising progress in implementation of the new support in safe accommodation duties across England.
The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 also amended homelessness legislation to give those who are homeless as a result of being a victim of domestic abuse priority need for accommodation secured by the local authority. This change came into force in July 2021. Local authorities must provide temporary accommodation until the duty can be discharged through provision of settled accommodation. The Homelessness Code of Guidance sets out comprehensive guidance on providing homelessness services to people who have experienced, or are at risk of, domestic abuse.

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, if he will take steps to grant local authorities the power to carry out a review of any building site where it considers that there are an excessive number of lorry movements onto that site.

Local planning authorities have broad powers to impose conditions on the grant of planning permission to help improve the quality of development and mitigate any adverse impacts. This can include, if appropriate, a condition to submit for approval of construction management plans to manage traffic and transport movements during the construction phase. Where development is not carried out in accordance with a planning condition, local planning authorities can take enforcement action to remedy a breach of planning control.
