Debate

National Policy Planning Framework: Housing

Contribution

My Lords, many in the House will wish the Government well in their ambitious commitment to housebuilding, but in terms of the National Planning Policy Framework, will the Minister outline how the social objectives of the framework are guaranteed and monitored, specifically “accessible services and open spaces that reflect current and future needs and support communities’ health, social and cultural well-being”? As regards well-being, will the Minister further consider restoring mandatory space standards for the construction size of British homes?
