To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (1) how many applications for planning permission for zero carbon homes were (a) requested and (b) granted in each of the last three years; (272221)

(2) how many planning applications for zero carbon homes have been made in each Government office region in each of the last 12 quarters;

(3) how many zero carbon homes have been (a) started and (b) completed in each of the last three years;

Mr. Ian Austin

While information is collected centrally on housing planning permissions, starts and completions, this does not separately identify zero carbon homes. Furthermore there is no requirement for local planning authorities to keep records which separately identify zero carbon homes.
