Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if the Department can provide a list of the housing associations that are participating in the Home Ownership for people with Long-term Disabilities scheme.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

The Home Ownership for People with Long-term Disabilities (HOLD) scheme is a specialist form of Shared Ownership. The government has confirmed that HOLD will continue to be funded through the Social and Affordable Homes Programme (SAHP) where proposals meet programme requirements and deliver value for money.

To support housing association participation in the scheme, my Department, in collaboration with Homes England, has published guidance on HOLD eligibility and delivery, which can be found on gov.uk here.

Information on landlords currently offering HOLD homes can be found using a search tool on gov.uk here.

The steps taken to support participation in HOLD, including programme funding and published guidance, apply across England, including in Leeds.

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimates her Department has made of the monetised costs of aircraft noise pollution for communities under Heathrow flight paths exposed to noise above 43 decibels, with reference to the recent Aviation Night Noise Effects and Aviation Noise Attitudes Survey noise studies.

Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The Department does not routinely monetise the costs of noise from existing noise sources and has not made an estimate of such costs for communities under Heathrow flight paths exposed to noise above 43dB.

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, in preparing the Heathrow Expansion Appraisal Report, what consideration her Department gave to modelling the potential monetised costs of noise pollution from expansion.

Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The Heathrow Expansion Appraisal Report estimates monetised disbenefits of noise to be approximately -£1.6 billion (2024 prices) over a 60-year appraisal period. This reflects the estimated increased noise exposure causing health, annoyance and sleep disturbance impacts.
