(24 February 2025)

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what proportion of the newly built homes her Department is planning will be smaller than (a) three and (b) four bedrooms in the next four years.

Asked by:
Connor Naismith (Labour)

As set out in Chapter 5 of the National Planning Policy Framework, it is for each local authority to assess the size, types and tenures of new housing needed for different groups in the community, and reflect this in their Local Plans.

As such, the size and type of new homes securing approval will depend on policies in the adopted Local Plan, and on the decisions the authority makes about individual planning proposals
