Affordable units granted final planning permission during the year: Total number of units (8833) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the total number of affordable units granted final planning permission during the year. This is the sum of Social Rent units, Affordable Rent units, Intermediate Rent units, Affordable Home Ownership units, Shared Ownership units, Starter Homes, London Affordable Rent units and unknown affordabl tenure units.
The figures here refer to when planning permissions were made and not when, for example, an s106 agreement was signed. If a previous permission has expired and a new detailed permission therefore been granted, the new detailed permission is included so that the data provides an assessment of the pipeline of permissions for new affordable housing.
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.
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.
