Notes:

• The "Introduction" at the start of the above response document includes the following information:
  - "The housing White Paper, ‘Fixing our broken housing market', was published on 7 February 2017. The housing White Paper consultation, which closed on 2 May 2017, set out 38 principal consultation questions. Respondents were invited to reply online using an internet survey or to email or post written comments to the Department. We are grateful for all the responses received, which have been given careful consideration.".
  - "The housing White Paper consultation attracted widespread interest. Many offered comments on the implications of our proposals or made recommendations of their own. This document summarises the consultation response and sets out the Government’s response. This document follows the layout of the housing White Paper consultation. Where appropriate, questions are linked or provided with a combined response. The percentages are of those responding to that particular question, not of all responses received. Unless otherwise stated, ‘Framework’ is the National Planning Policy Framework, and ‘guidance’ is the Planning Practice Guidance on the website alongside the Framework.".
  - "The online survey published alongside the housing White Paper added two further questions, to follow up issues raised by the 2016 ‘Rural Planning Review: call for evidence’. The response to these can be found at questions 39 and 40.".
