Liberal Democrat — Hazel Grove

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 December 2024

Debate

Devolution: Local Communities

Contribution

Many of my constituents would welcome further powers being devolved to their local communities. They are as keen as mustard to see the right homes in the right places, particularly social housing, but one of the things stopping social housing being delivered is the viability calculations that are undertaken by developers, who use them to say that only expensive houses can be built. Are the Government looking at reviewing the use of viability calculations?
