392. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government the progress there has been on the planned review into Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000 particularly in terms of changes to the legislation which may affect shared ownership schemes; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Government’s 2011 housing policy statement announced the standing down of all affordable housing schemes, including the shared ownership scheme, in the context of a full review of Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000. That review is now almost concluded and I have also asked the Housing and Sustainable Communities Agency to provide me with a standalone analysis of the shared ownership scheme, including identification of the main difficulties and recommendations for mitigating measures.
