Local authorities are required to conduct an annual survey of the housing land supply, the Housing Land Audit, to determine completions within the timeframe and update forecasts of the housing land supply. This, in turn, helps inform land releases within the Local Development Plan process and ongoing development management decisions.
The housing land supply dataset contains a full range of local authorities and includes full details - where available - of site references, completions and remaining supply and site programming. Further details of greenfield/brownfield status, tenure, effectiveness (deliverable within the period), constraints, planning details/status and developer are also provided where available.
Some of the geometry is represented by a buffer on a recorded X/Y easting/northing where polygons were not available.
Data is not included for Dumfries and Galloway, Inverclyde and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
