Housing Land Supply - Scotland

Local authorities are required to conduct an annual survey of the housing land supply, the Housing Land Audit, to determine completions within the timeframe and update forecasts of the housing land supply. This, in turn, helps inform land releases within the Local Development Plan process and ongoing development management decisions.

The housing land supply dataset contains a full range of local authorities and includes full details - where available - of site references, completions and remaining supply. Further details of greenfield/brownfield status, tenure, effectiveness (deliverable within the period), constraints, planning details/status and developer are also provided where available.

The housing land supply 2022/23 dataset includes additional information for the 20 local authorities who have completed and shared their 2022/23 housing land audit. This includes site status, planning references, local development plan references, and predicted completions over time, proposed numbers of houses and flats and developer (where available).

Some of the geometry is represented by a buffer on a recorded X/Y easting/northing where polygons were not available.
