PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(12 December 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many affordable homes were (a) started and (b) completed in Essex in 2023-24.

Asked by:
James McMurdock (Independent)

Answer

Data on new affordable housing starts and completions by upper tier local authority, including Essex, is available on the affordable housing supply open data published here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-affordable-housing-supply.

The number of completions is available since 1991-92. The department started publishing the number of starts in 2015-16. However, starts not reported via Homes England or the Greater London Authority only started being collected in 2016-17 and are collected on a voluntary basis. This means 2015-16 data does not include these data and subsequent years may still be under reporting it. The published open data file includes the figures for 2023-24.
