Housing and Planning Bill

Proceeding contribution from Clive Betts (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 May 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Housing and Planning Bill.

I am still a little confused about the position that local authorities will be put in if this amendment falls. They will, I think, still be entering into section 106 negotiations with a developer, part of which will involve a requirement to provide starter homes, but will they also have an ability to provide shared ownership properties and, presumably, affordable homes to rent as well? How will the balance and proportion of those homes be determined? Will that be a matter for local discretion?
