What assessment has been made of the potential effect of provisions in the Planning (Street Plans) Bill to allow residents to vote on the design of new homes in their streets on levels of housing supply?

Context
The question follows a discussion about the Planning (Street Plans) Bill and seeks to understand how related ideas in the 'Poverty Trapped' policy paper can be vital for unlocking home building.
Will the Secretary of State look at the 'build up, not out' proposals in my soon-to-be-launched policy paper 'Poverty Trapped', which enshrine local democratic consent and style codes as essential steps for new developments?
My hon. Friend is absolutely right. It is rare that we have legislation that combines greater democratic control with the potential for the beautification of our urban and suburban environment, and also unlocks the potential for the value of individuals' homes to be enhanced by additional development.

Direct Answer

Context
Residents in Hull and Hessle are fearful that new housing developments will lead to increased flooding, which can be devastating.
Will the Secretary of State meet me to discuss my ten-minute rule Bill, the Flooding (Prevention and Insurance) Bill, designed to improve and strengthen flood mitigation and protection measures for all new builds?
I know how prone so many communities in the East Riding are to flooding. It is vital that we balance the need for new housing with making sure that there is appropriate mitigation, so I will ensure that I or another relevant Minister meet the hon. Lady to discuss her Bill and how we can take forward those provisions that mesh with our own ambitions.
