Midlothian Council Housing Land Audit 2020
Midlothian Council Housing Land Audit 2020 1 - Introduction
The Housing Land Audit (HLA) is the established means of monitoring and managing the housing land supply. Audits are undertaken annually (based on the financial year of 31st March – 1st April) and establish the availability of effective housing land at that time, for the next five years and beyond. The Audit also indicates the progress of sites through the planning process, house completions and a programme of development to ensure that there is enough effective housing land for at least five years. The Audit is shared with Homes for Scotland (HfS) and other infrastructure providers.
HLA 20 is an assessment of the housing land supply in Midlothian at 31st March 2020. It comprises the following six schedules:
Summary – an overview of the supply situation; Main Schedule – information on the status of and indicative programming for effective sites in the supply; Completions – numbers of units completed at sites, both in the 2019/20 financial year specifically and in total on sites with completions in previous financial years; Constrained Sites – sites in the supply which are not effective; Safeguarded Sites – sites associated with housing allocations which have potential for further expansion in the longer term and which could be brought forward through the next development plan, if required; Site Notes – additional information on sites, including their planning application and building warrant references.
The schedules include all new housing development, redevelopment, conversion and sub-division consisting of five or more units. Refurbishment of existing housing stock is excluded. Small sites (of four units or less) are shown as an aggregation for each settlement and are combined with allocated and windfall sites to provide a summary of the housing situation for each settlement in Midlothian. These in turn are aggregated to the Housing Market Area (HMA) level. There are two of these in Midlothian and their boundaries and the settlements they contain are shown in figure 1 on the next page. A map of the sites within the Audit is included at the back of this document and an online version with interactive site information is also available. It can be found here:

The Council will continue to work with HfS, house builders and other agencies to ensure the delivery of housing in Midlothian.

Midlothian Council Housing Land Audit 2020 3 – Housing Supply Summary
In addition to the seven sites that were completed during the financial year, there are a total of 100 sites in the Main Schedule of HLA 20. This partly reflects the original Shawfair site (h43) now being split into its various plots in the Audit and the same approach being taken with site h58 at north-west Penicuik, however even accounting for this, 100 is the largest number of sites in an Audit for at least a decade, with the exception of last year. 67 of these are at greenfield locations and the remaining 33 are on previously-developed land. The following two figures provide a further breakdown of the sites by planning application status and by land supply source.

The Midlothian housing market is characterised by the presence of a range of house builders. Table 2 provides a summary of its major-players alongside the number of sites they are taking forward and the total capacity of these. It is also worth noting that a number of other site developers/promoters and smaller house builders also operate within Midlothian. These are excluded from the table below for conciseness, however full details are provided in the Main Schedule of the Audit.

Figures also include the various Springfield / Walker 10 1,268 Mayfield/Newtongrange sites and are based on MLDP capacities – site constraints mean it is not clear how much of this is deliverable.
HLA 20 identifies a total established housing land supply of 11,941 units and a programmed supply of 5,496 house completions over the period 2020/21 to 2024/25, which equates to an effective housing land supply of 6.1 years (based on current delivery estimates)1. This compares favourably with both Midlothian’s past ten-year average of

4,900 and to equivalent figures from other Scottish Local Authorities (as reported in their past Planning Performance Framework reports). Moreover, it should also be borne in mind that this figure does not account for new windfall sites that will inevitably enter the supply over the coming five years.
HLA 20 identifies 611 housing unit completions in the Audit year. This is a decrease of 11% on the previous year (which was the highest figure since 2008/09) and compares to a five-year rolling average prior to the current Audit year of 630 units per annum. 611 units is broadly in line with a plateauing of yearly completions since around 2014 – in years prior to this fewer units were built (figure 4 below). It should be noted that the fall in completions between 2019/20 and the previous year is not due to the Coronavirus outbreak (see section 5).

Figure 4: Ten-year trend of housing completions in Midlothian.
In terms of the distribution of dwellings built across Midlothian’s settlements (figure 5), the most notable feature is the emergence of Shawfair as where most completions took place during 2019/20. The previous year was the first occasion where the number of units built there reached into three figures and activity has accelerated since, with another 143 units built. This is due to work proceeding at pace at MacTaggart & Mickel’s development in Shawfair itself and Bellway and Miller’s sites at South Danderhall. Though Miller Homes will be completed during 2020/21, it is probable that Shawfair will continue to be Midlothian’s fastest growing settlement. This is due to MacTaggart & Mickel having a second phase to move on to, pending applications from Barratt Homes and Stewart Milne Homes for 163 units and 143 units respectively and Dandara starting construction at their development there during the Audit year.
Penicuik, Bonnyrigg/Lasswade and Gorebridge form a group of settlements in which around 100 units were built in 2019/20. It is expected that completions at Penicuik will increase in future given that Bellway became the third house-builder on site at h58, North West Penicuik, alongside CALA and Avant. In Gorebridge, meanwhile,

Taylor Wimpey’s development of 211 units at Harvieston is nearing completion while Persimmon have progressed the final area of their h36 site considerably, with the first phase of this being sold out.
2019/20 saw the final private units completed at the original Hopefield housing allocation in Bonnyrigg. This major residential development has seen 1,300 units, a new distributor road and a primary school built on land set aside in the 2003 Local Plan. It has been the main factor in Bonnyrigg overtaking Penicuik to become the most populous settlement in Midlothian. A planning application has since been submitted for 16 affordable homes and a retail unit for the small remaining undeveloped part of the original Hopefield allocation, while Taylor Wimpey intend to take forward the newer allocations from the MLDP there – they submitted an application for consent in principle for 1,000 units at site Hs12 and its associated ‘safeguarded’ allocation.
Completions at Loanhead remained steady, with housing sites there being in a later phase of the development cycle. The two small windfall housing sites at Clerk Street and the Former Loanhead Hospital are expected to be completed during 2020/21, the second of the three portions of the Ashgrove site was completed during the Audit year and the first occupations took place at Barratt’s development of the former Paradykes Primary School site. This means that, at the current time, there are no units planned to be built in the town beyond 22/23 (with the exception of small sites or less than 5 units).

HLA 19 was the first Audit from Midlothian Council to provide a breakdown of completions between the market and affordable sectors. It reported 119 affordable units built together with another 18 properties purchased by Housing Services on the open market. The equivalent figures for 2019/20 were 70 units built and 48 properties purchased. Further details on this topic are provided in the latest Strategic Housing Investment Plan report. A link to this is provided in Section 6.
The 2019/20 financial year saw a number of applications for major developments approved. These are listed in the table below alongside their relevant planning application reference numbers, which can be looked up on the Planning and Building Standards Portal on the Midlothian Council website. A link to it is also provided in Section 6. A link is also provided to direct readers to Planning Committee documents which include updates on the progress of major applications for every meeting.

For this reason, the number of units consented at specific sites should not be compared between years – the information in the table should be viewed as a one-year snap-shot.

4 – Property Market Summary
House price data adds context to the Midlothian housing supply situation in the six schedules on the following pages that comprise the HLA. This data was obtained from Registers of Scotland and a link to it is provided in Section 62. It is important to note that they refer to the prices of properties sold only, as it is at this point where the transaction value becomes available. Prices of the stock more generally may differ from those that come on the market.
There were approximately 1,900 property transactions in Midlothian during 2019/20, which is comparable to the number seen over the past five years. The total value of these transactions was £430 million during the 2019/20 year, somewhat higher than the previous year (£390 million).
Selling prices of homes in Midlothian have risen steadily in the past few years, from an average of £180,000 in 2014/15 to nearly £230,000 in 2019/20. Homes in Midlothian are also some of the most expensive in Scotland – the average selling price across the country in 2019/20 was £180,000. At certain points during the year, average selling prices in Midlothian have reached £240,000, which was the highest for at least five years. Prices in the areas are generally amongst the highest in Scotland, with neighbouring Edinburgh and East Lothian also being expensive. For comparison, the lowest average house prices were in East Ayrshire. Table 3 summarises the most expensive and most affordable Councils in Scotland by house selling price for the final quarter of the Audit year.
Table 3: Top five most and least expensive Council areas by house selling price. Average House Price in Council Area Q4 2019/20 East Dunbartonshire £276,000 East Renfrewshire £267,000 Top Five Most Expensive Edinburgh £263,000 East Lothian £242,000 Midlothian £230,000 Inverclyde £133,000 North Ayrshire £124,000 Top Five Least Expensive Na h-Eileanan Siar £123,000 West Dunbartonshire £122,000 East Ayrshire £118,000
Figure 6 provides a visual comparison of average selling prices for homes in Midlothian against the Scottish average. It can be seen that while prices have generally

increased over recent years, they have increased more in Midlothian than across the country as a whole. This has led to a situation where the gap between house prices in Midlothian and Scotland has widened. This trend may be due to newer housing developments in Midlothian being composed of a higher portion of larger, family homes than is typical for the region – in other words, it may reflect a change in composition of the local housing stock rather than solely an increase in price. It may also reflect increased demand for homes within the county as buyers could become priced out of the Edinburgh market or seek better value close to but outside the city.

5 – Implications of the Coronavirus Outbreak
The Coronavirus outbreak of 2020 has had some notable implications for housing activity in Midlothian and for how this Audit was put together.
It was noted earlier that 611 completions for 2019/20 is lower than the five-year rolling average (630 units/year) and the total for 2018/19 (685 units). This was fall was not due to the ‘lockdown’ and its associated impacts on housing matters such as the cessation of building work, the temporary closure of the application record by Registers of Scotland from late-March and the advice from the Scottish Government to delay moving home wherever possible. Such impacts occurred after the end of the financial year and will therefore be reflected within HLA 21.
The Coronavirus restrictions have also had implications for the methodology used in this year’s Audit. The draft is traditionally shared with HfS who consult their members

on anticipated programming, compile it and bring it to a meeting with Council staff where programming is mutually agreed. This procedure was followed again, albeit remotely rather than in physical proximity, along with several other means which were used this year to obtain programming which is as accurate as possible. These include: Direct contact with house-builders – all of the major-players in Midlothian were sent requests for programming; More site visits than usual – all developments that were under construction before lockdown were visited to determine both whether building work had recommenced and the state of play regarding the number of units being worked on, that were nearing completion and that were occupied; Consulting Planning Officer’s case files and building warrants for the most recent activity regarding sites; Research on housing market activity, including news articles - particularly those regarding Construction Scotland’s site Restart Plan – as well as direct contact with sales staff at sites; Reviewing past completions figures for sites that had previously delivered finished units in prior Audits; Reviewing HfS guidelines on programming.
For these reasons, the programming is as accurate as possible under the circumstances of the virus restrictions and its consequences. It should be noted that it reflects the situation at the time of writing (late 2020) and any if restrictions were imposed again, this would have knock-on effects for site programming.

• MSC application is from Barratt, but flooding considerations meant that they have taken forward an application on h55(AreaA). • The PPP consent was originally for the whole of h55 and proposed 200 to 250 units. The northern University of Edinburgh / h55(Rem) H13 Seafield Moor Road Remainder MLP 2008 12/00814/PPP, 17/00428/MSC (pending) portion is the smaller area and accounts for around 40% of the site. Therefore the site capacity of 90 Barratt Homes in the Main Schedule is taken from 40% of the mid-point of the PPP unit number (225 * 0.4 = 90). • The PPP consent is still valid since it covers the whole of h55 and work has begun on the southern portion (h55(AreaA)).
