This research continues our series of updates on housing land supply figures in the South East and East of England. The infographic and tables show the housing land supply claimed by individual planning authorities in their own monitoring reports and position statements as at June 2017.

Most Councils report the data listed here annually. However, this is not always the case so these figures should be considered as a snapshot of a point in time. Additionally, the reported figures are not normally independently scrutinised at the point of publication so they can be open to challenge. Each individual Council’s position is fluid and may not necessarily take into account evolving circumstances such as changes in policy, appeal decisions, judgements or the release of updated supply and delivery rates.

Each Council is aiming to achieve a five-year supply as measured against a development plan that is compliant with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

Those Councils without a demonstrable five-year supply may be in a more vulnerable position when faced with speculative planning applications. Unfortunately, not all Councils can use this benchmark because of expired plans. The next best option is typically their Objectively Assessed Housing Need Survey(s) or other figures derived from DCLG household projections or non-NPPF compliant plans.

Disappointingly, some Councils continue to report inaccurate figures that are at substantial variance to those imposed by Inspectors and there may be additional discrepancies between the figures and binding judgements in appeal decisions. Moreover, some make assertions about their own calculations which may conflict with the approach mandated by Planning Practice Guidance which can lead to inconsistencies in these results.
