Recommendation 10

Deferred
Paragraph: 42
Require local authorities to report and publish M4(2) and M4(3) new build data annually.
Conclusion
We are surprised that the Department does not hold any data on the number of new builds completed to the M4(2) and M4(3) standards in England, especially given that local authorities are already required to provide data on the supply of new homes to central Government annually. The Department must require local authorities to report on the supply of new homes at [a] M4(2) standard and [b] M4(3) standard Disabled people in the housing sector 31 specifically in their annual data submission to the Department. The Department must publish this data annually as part of the ‘Housing supply: net additional dwellings’ statistical release.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government discusses local authorities' flexibility with DFG funding and means testing, and states it will continue to keep aspects of the grant under consideration, but does not address the recommendation to require data collection and publication on new homes built to M4(2) and M4(3) standards.
