The numbers of local authority and registered social landlord affordable homes completed in 2005-06 by local authority have been tabulated and a copy has been placed in the Library of the House. This includes new build and acquisitions. Information on the number of affordable homes started in 2005-06 is not held centrally.
Information on starts and completions is limited to social rent only and can be found on the Communities and Local Government web site:
http://www.communities.gov.uk/pub/66/Table253Excel860Kb_id1156066.xls
This information comes from building control inspections and may underestimate the number of social rent dwellings provided since tenure may be unknown at that time.
The numbers of additional social rent and low cost home ownership homes provided in local authorities classified as either urban or rural are shown in the following table. For 2006-07 provisional figures indicate that around 25,000 social rented homes were provided and 19,500 low cost home ownership homes. For 2007-08 we are currently estimating that 30,000 social rented homes will be provided and around 25,000 low cost home ownership. The table includes homes provided through both new build and acquisitions.
