FOI request (FOI-65089139)

In the government's white paper 'Fixing our broken housing market', published on 7 February 2016, the government said "we are going to consult on a new standard methodology for calculating 'objectively assessed need' [as relates to housing], and encourage councils to plan on this basis. We will insist that every area has an up-to-date plan."

Government also said they would be "Holding local authorities to account through a new housing delivery test."

Please may I request the following information under the FOI act:

1) What information, documentation or consultation, if any, your council has received on a "new standard methodology for calculating 'objectively assessed need'"; and

2) When your housing plan was last updated, including a copy of the housing plan in question; and

3)  What information, documentation or consultation, if any, your council has received on a "new housing delivery test".
