This is a question for someone from the council to answer.

I read in last weeks paper that there are about 3,000 people waiting for houses in Hyndburn.
The house prices in the area have gone up considerably over the last five or six years, so much so that they are pricing first time buyers out of the market.

So, the question is - why was I told that there is a halt on allowing planning permissions for new houses in the area? Or is that no longer the case?
