Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many dwellings built or created through Permitted Development Rights in England have been found to be in breach of Building Regulations since 2015.

Dwellings built under Permitted Development Rights are published in Live Table 120 as part of the Net Additional Dwellings release https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/net-supply-of-housing#publications.

These data were first collected in 2015-16.

MHCLG does not collect centrally any data regarding whether these dwellings have been found to be in breach of Building Regulations.
