To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many schemes scoring less than nine points under the Building for Life criteria were proposed for (a) private development and (b) social or affordable housing under the Kickstart programme. (316952)

Under Round 1 of Kickstart, there were 67 schemes which the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) scored as less than nine points under the Building for Life criteria. Of these, 28 included funding for affordable housing. All 28 of these were characterised by either incomplete information being made available to CABE and/or a review of the schemes by the Homes and Communities Agency. The CABE assessments were used to highlight schemes where more attention was needed and were the basis for further assessment by HCA regional teams. The HCA regional teams were able to augment the CABE assessment with additional relevant local information, to reach their final decisions.

Further information on Round 1 of Kickstart, including a breakdown of scores under Building for Life, is available on the HCA website.
