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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what guidance her Department provides to social housing providers to encourage the delivery of green infrastructure.

I refer the hon. Member to policies N1(1)(d) and N2(1)(c-e) of the new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) published on 17 August.

The government does not publish specific guidance for social housing providers on green infrastructure.
