Affordable Housing
Mr. Kidney: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what assessment he has made of the impact of regeneration schemes on the numbers of new units of affordable housing provided since 1997. [116698]
Ms Beverley Hughes: During 1997-98 and 1998-99 an estimated 36,160 new dwellings and housing units were completed or facilitated with support from my Department's regeneration programmes. Figures for affordable housing are not recorded separately and the full impact of regeneration schemes on new housing is not available.
Early evaluation evidence suggests that, overall, the Single Regeneration Budget is cost effective, taking account of the severity of problems in partnership areas. Also an interim evaluation of English Partnerships acknowledged its significant achievements, often working closely with the Housing Corporation, in facilitating housing, predominantly on brownfield sites.
The recent revision of Planning Policy Guidance note 3 (PPG3) on housing reaffirms our policy that a community's need for a mix of housing types, including affordable housing, is a material planning consideration which local planning authorities should take into account.
