It includes all council houses inside the administrative area including those owned by other local authorities, and those owned by the local authority for non-housing purposes (including dwellings that could house people without conversion work even if the dwelling is being used for another use such as a store for equipment). Includes dwellings that are vacant even if they are scheduled for demolition at a future date.
The figures exclude: Dwellings leased or licensed to the authority, unless the original lease was for 21 years or more; Local authority stock leased exclusively by a housing association; Flats and dwellings sold under Right to Buy where the authority holds the freehold.
The figures should exclude: local authority-owned dwellings occupied by wardens/caretakers; Dwellings owned by a provider which is itself wholly owned by the local authority.
