(Translated) What action is the Welsh Government taking to assess and meet the need for rented homes?

We are working with local authorities to review and strengthen the approach to assessing local housing need through local housing market assessments. A £50.41 million social housing grant has been allocated for north Wales in 2021-22 to provide more homes for rent in the social sector.

(Translated) What is the Welsh Government doing to get private sector landlords to decarbonise their properties?

To kick-start decarbonisation of Wales’s 1.4 million homes, I am investing £150 million in the optimised retrofit programme over the next three years to learn how to decarbonise social homes efficiently and effectively. What we learn from social housing will amplify and accelerate efforts to reduce carbon emissions for all homes.  

(Translated) Will the Minister provide an update on plans for the south Wales metro?

Bringing our metro programmes to life is ambitious and complex. Significant construction work is already under way on the south Wales metro through the £738 million core Valleys lines transformation, and the Swansea bay & west Wales metro is spearheading pilots on hydrogen powered busses and integrated ticketing.

(Translated) What consideration has the Minister given to requests to call in the planning application for a business park at Model Farm in the Vale of Glamorgan?

Following the Vale of Glamorgan Council’s agreement to the quashing of the previous decision, the council must prepare a new report on the application. I will consider whether to call in the application when we receive the new report from the council.
