Provision of new build additional affordable housing in populations of less than 3,000 people (8786) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the number of additional new build affordable units provided in settlements with populations of 3,000 or less. This total may also include some dwellings on Rural Exception Sites.
These are dwellings within the geographical authority area. This means that any dwellings provided in the area by other local authorities will be included, but those provided by the authority outside the area should not. It includes units that were funded with recycled Right to Buy receipts. It does not include units that were bought in the open market.
All affordable housing reported here should be in line with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). A "completion" is defined as taking place when the property is built or purchased and transferred to the housing provider. This will generally take place when a Practical Completion certificate is issued or when the completion of the sale takes place. Homes should be included in a given financial year where Practical Completion (or completion of the sale) and transfer to the housing provider has taken place by 31 March. If the property is only let, or available for letting, in the following year it is still recorded in the year that it was completed and transferred to the registered provider.
