It is important that local areas plan to meet local need for supported housing and that registered social landlords are not overburdened with additional requirements above what is already in place. However, the Government recognises that some local authorities feel powerless to prevent new supported housing provision that is not required or that does not align with strategic plans. We believe that the local housing authority licensing schemes and national support standards are the best way to ensure that the right provision in the right places is ensured. These measures are targeted at the problem we are seeing with poor quality provision. Where local authorities implement a licensing scheme this will supersede Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) licensing. While there are no plans to make changes to the use classes, we recognise that local areas want to plan effectively to meet local need. Therefore, the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Bill includes a proposed duty for local authorities to produce local supported housing strategies. This will enable local authorities to map supported housing supply and demand and will provide LAs and the Government with a strategic view of provision. The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) Secretary of State has committed to undertake a review of the effect of licensing schemes on accommodation and support within 3 years after the regulations are made. At this stage, a determination will be made as to whether planning reform is required through creating a separate use class for exempt accommodation.
