    Housing Statistics for Scotland 2019: Key Trends Summary This publication presents annual statistics up to 31st March 2019 on total new housing supply in Scotland across all sectors, and on stock by tenure estimates up to end March 2018, along with information on various elements of local authority housing in 2018-19 such as stock, lettings, house sales, evictions, housing lists, and housing for older people and people with disabilities. The statistics are largely based on information collected from local authorities, along with information obtained from the Scottish Government affordable housing supply programme database, and the Scottish Housing Regulator, and are used for a variety of purposes, including monitoring overall housing supply in Scotland. More detailed background Excel tables are available on the Housing Statistics website. A separate summary of the latest quarterly data on social sector new build and affordable housing is available in the Housing Statistics for Scotland Quarterly Update September 2019. A separate overview of social housing as a whole (i.e. across both housing association and local authority housing) is available in the separate statistical publication Social Tenants in Scotland 2017. 2 Key Findings for 2018-19 Housing Supply (Private and Public Sector) New housing supply: New housing supply (new build, refurbishment and conversions) increased by 2,953 homes (15%) between 2017-18 and 2018-19, from 19,320 to 22,273 units.

My question to the Secretary of State is not whether she opposes that Wednesday 3 June 2015 but whether she agrees that European companies have no business trading with illegal settlements east of the green line. The House met at half-past Eleven o’clock Justine Greening: The hon. Gentleman is right that PRAYERS we oppose that illegal building of settlements, and he is shining a light on some of the decisions that companies [MR SPEAKER in the Chair] themselves have to make about whether they will be part of that activity. It is up to them to speak for Speaker’s Statement themselves, but the Government’s position in relation to those settlements is very clear.

  • Housing Statistics for Scotland 2009: Key Trends Summary
    A National Statistics Publication for Scotland !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456 Housing statistics for Scotland 2009: Key Trends Summary Introduction This summary document provides an introduction to the updated Housing Statistics for Scotland web tables which were first launched in November 2007. These interactive tables present comprehensive data on housing activity in Scotland up to 2008-09 (for annual data) 30 June 2009 (for social sector new build and affordable housing quarterly series) or 31 March 2009 for other quarterly series. The tables include information on public sector stock and house sales, demolitions, new build, the Affordable Housing Investment Programme (AHIP), local authority housing management, houses in multiple occupation, special needs housing, rent registration and private sector improvement grants. Key Points • New housing supply: new housing supply (new build, refurbishment and conversions) decreased by 18% between 2007-08 and 2008-09, from 27,500 to 22,600 units. This was driven by a decrease in private completions. However, despite the overall fall, both housing association and local authority new build figures increased from the previous year. These data are the basis for National Indicator number 32 in the Scottish Government’s 2007 Spending Review. This indicator is also presented on the Scotland Performs website http://www.scotland.gov.uk/About/scotPerforms/indicators which provides the latest information on how Scotland is performing on a range of topics affecting all aspects of Scottish life. • New house building: In 2008-09, there were 21,400 completions in Scotland, a decrease of 17% on the previous year. Starts also fell, by 26% from 26,900 in 2007-08 to 20,000 in 2008-09.

  • Role of This Document
    1 Role of this document This Statement of Participation details the engagement and consultation process that has been undertaken during the preparation of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets’ Core Strategy. It has been prepared in accordance with Regulation 24 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2008. The Statement sets out: 1) The approach the Council took to engagement and consultation throughout the preparation of the plan 2) The process undertaken for the two formal rounds of consultation on the emerging options and alternatives for the Core Strategy. Specifically, this paper details for the two consultation periods: The people, groups and organisations invited for consultations; How they were invited to be involved; A summary of the main issues raised by the consultees; and How the issues raised have been addressed in the Core Strategy. Background PPS12 – Local Spatial Planning requires that the production of core strategies should follow the Government’s principles for community engagement in planning. Involvement should be: appropriate to the level of planning; from the outset – leading to a sense of ownership of local policy decisions; continuous – part of ongoing programme, not a one-off event, with clearly articulated opportunities for continuing involvement; transparent and accessible – using methods appropriate to the communities concerned; and planned – as an integral part of the process for making plans. It also requires that ‘(T)he council must produce a Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) which should follow these principles. The involvement of the public in preparing the core strategy must follow the approach set out in the SCI.’ Council’s Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) was adopted in February 2008.
