Sharma To Face Commons Committee Over Housing Need

The CLG Committee will examine proposed changes to the way the need for new homes is calculated for each council in a one-off evidence session with housing minister, Alok Sharma. Government’s ‘Planning for the right homes in the right places’ consultation is aimed at finding a new standardised methodology for assessing housing need on a council-by-council basis, replacing inconsistent methods used across different authorities at present. The committee will question Sharma on Nov 1 ahead of the consultation closure on Nov 9. Read more on the Parliament website.
