Annual scheme level data

A data set of scheme completions and starts since April 2011 is available. This data set will be updated on an annual basis.

See some of this data represented in charts and maps using Tableau reporting.

Visit GLA website for more information.

Further to the GLA's scheme of delegations, the Mayor has delegated authority to the Executive Director of Housing and Land to approve engagement with, and allocations to, new and existing housing providers bidding to deliver additional affordable homes in London. The approvals include bids for new schemes in existing programmes and the approval of variations to existing scheme allocations. The Additional Allocations file below lists additional funding approved under this delegation.

AHP Conversions

This report is based on information on conversions provided to the GLA by the Social Housing Regulator, the conversion data is as submitted by providers in their quarterly survey via NROSH+ (a website for all private registered providers except local authority providers to submit their annual data returns required by the Social Housing Regulator).

Number of affordable housing completions (seasonally adjusted)

How the figure is calculated:

Total reported numbers of completions under the relevant programmes within the reporting period. Because delivery is seasonal and reflects funding profiles, with more starts and completions being reported in the second six months than are reported in the first six months, the current figures are compared back to the equivalent period of the year before rather than the preceding six months.

Why is this indicator in the business plan?

These are the most timely indicators on affordable housing delivery. Increasing the supply of affordable housing is a key part of DCLG policy.

How often is it updated?

Bi-annually, approximately June and November.

Where does the data come from?

Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) - Investment Management System and other programme information. Published figures are at http://www.homesandcommunities.co.uk/housing-statistics.

Greater London Authority (GLA) - Investment Management System and other programme information. Published figures are at http://www.london.gov.uk/priorities/housing-land/increasing-housing-supply/gla-affordable-housing-statistics.

What area does the headline figure cover?

England

Are further breakdowns of the data available?

Yes, can be split by type (social rent, affordable rent, intermediate rent, Low Cost Home Ownership) and by local authority area.

What does a change in this indicator show?

An increase in this indicator is good and shows more new affordable houses are being completed through the HCA and GLA.

Time Lag

Published within two months of the end of the reporting period.

Next available update

June 2015.

Type of Data

Official Statistics.

Robustness and data limitations

• Does not include all affordable housing starts and completions because some will be delivered outside the HCA and GLA roles.
• Delivery is seasonal and reflects funding profiles. Delivery tends to be lower in the first six months than the last six months of the year and therefore comparisons with the previous six-monthly period are not usually appropriate.
• A small number of the affordable housing starts reported by the HCA over this period are actually located in London (the Get Britain Building programme in London is administered by the HCA on behalf of the GLA).

The Integrated Care Systems Housing Profile (ICS Housing Profile) is a resource that aims to support people working in ICSs and ICBs to understand, and work jointly with partners to mitigate and tackle the key housing-related issues that drive poor health in London. The ICS Housing Profile presents key housing data for London at sub-regional ICS geography and borough level. The data is presented across the three narrative themes of housing quality, security, and affordability. Whilst those working in ICSs and ICBs will be aware of the broad impacts of housing on health, we hope this resource will help colleagues to better understand the specific housing issues that are driving health inequalities and healthcare usage, in the area they’re working in. ​ For those looking to delve deeper into the data, the accompanying workbooks can be used to find more information on housing trends over time, different geographical breakdowns and alternative metrics. Development of the resource This resource has been produced collaboratively by the Greater London Authority Group Public Health Unit and the City Intelligence Unit. The data included in this report is the most recent available at the time the report was written. The resource is provided in PDF and PowerPoint format to support colleagues in their work. There is no current plan for periodic updates of this resource. The resource includes: ICS Housing Profile (in PDF or PowerPoint format) Housing Profile Data Summary (workbook 1) – this includes more data to explore beyond the figures set out in the profile Housing Profile Figures (workbook 2) – this includes data behind the figures only Other useful resources: The Housing and Health page provides intelligence and context on the housing and health inequalities in London. The Cost of Poor Housing page estimates the annual cost to the NHS of homes in poor condition in London.

The housing-led projections reconcile future population growth with available housing supply by incorporating a housing supply trajectory. The housing-led projections are recommended for most local planning purposes, and the 10-year variant can be considered the default variant.

Users in London local authorities are able to request bespoke projections based on alternative housing scenarios through the GLA Population Projection Service.

The most recent set of projections are the 2022-based round (August 2024) which comprise three variants based on different migration and fertility assumptions.

All 2022-based projections are based on a common scenario of assumed future housing delivery that is derived from capacity identified in the 2017 Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment.

These projections are based on modelled back series of population estimates produced by the GLA and available here.

Additional documentation, including updated information about methodologies and assumptions will be published in the coming days.

For more information about these projections, see the accompanying blog post.

The housing-led projections include projections for London Boroughs and London wards (2022 boundaries). The release also includes components of change (births, deaths and migration data).

The GLA Population Yield Calculator is a tool for estimating population yield from new housing development. Please see the methodology paper for guidance using the calculator.

The calculator is provided in two forms: with and without formulae. The version with formulae included is provided for transparency and to allow users to recreate or edit the tool if they wish.

The calculator is in XLSX (Excel 2007 and later) format.

Housing Research Notes are a series of analytical reports from the Greater London Authority focusing on individual issues of relevance to housing policy in London.

The most recent Housing Research Note (published in November 2023) estimates the annual cost to the NHS of homes in poor condition in London. It also estimates the cost of repairing all the homes in London that are in poor condition, calculating how long it would take the savings to pay off the repair costs. The analysis is broken down by tenure and compared with the same figures for the rest of England.

Previous Housing Research Notes have analysed topics including housing supply, Help to Buy policy, short-term lettings, international comparisons, the factors behind increasing private rents and race equality.

The London Housing Strategy sets out the Mayor's plans to tackle the capital's housing crisis and his vision to provide all Londoners with a good quality home they can afford. The draft strategy was published for a 12-week consultation between 6 September and 7 December 2017. Responses were received from over 2,000 members of the public via surveys, online discussion threads, and written correspondence. Over 200 organisations also submitted written responses to the draft strategy. The consultation response report, available at www.london.gov.uk/housing-strategy, provides an accurate summary of responses to the consultation. Quantitative information used to develop this report are set out below.

Starts and completions of affordable housing for England, bringing together those funded by the HCA and those funded by the GLA Source agency: Communities and Local Government Designation: Official Statistics not designated as National Statistics Language: English Alternative title: Affordable Housing Starts and Completions for England

Total affordable housing completions by financial year in each London borough since 1991/92.

The information includes both homes funded through programmes directly managed by the GLA (and formerly by the Homes and Communities Agency) and homes funded through other sources and programmes.

Affordable housing is the sum of social rent, affordable rent, intermediate rent and low cost home ownership.

New affordable homes are additional housing units (or bed spaces) provided to specified eligible households whose needs are not met by the market.

Data is from Homes and Communities Agency and Local Authorities.

Trend-based projections

Four variants of trend-based population projections and corresponding household projections are currently available to download. These are labelled as High, Central and Low and differ in their domestic migration assumptions beyond 2017. The economic crisis has been linked to a fall in migration from London to the rest of the UK and a rise in flows from the UK to London. The variants reflect a range of scenarios relating to possible return to pre-crisis trends in migration.

High: In this scenario, the changes to domestic migration flows are considered to be structural and recent patterns persist regardless of an improving economic outlook.

Low: Changes to domestic migration patterns are assumed to be transient and return to pre-crisis trends beyond 2018. Domestic outflow propensities increase by 10% and inflows decrease by 6% as compared to the High variant.

Central: Assumes recent migration patterns are partially transient and partially structural. Beyond 2018, domestic outlow propensities increase by 5% and inflows by 3% as compared to the High variant.

Central - incorporating 2012-based fertility assumptions: Uses the same migration assumptions as the Central projeciton above, but includes updated age-specific-fertility-rates based on 2011 birth data and future fertility trends taken from ONS's 2012-based National Population Projections. The impact of these changes is to increase fertility by ~10% in the long term.

Housing linked projections

Two variants of housing-linked projections are available based on housing trajectories derived from the 2013 Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). The two variants are produced using different models to constrain the population to available dwellings. These are referred to as the DCLG-based model and the Capped Household Size model. These models will be explained in greater detail in an upcoming Intelligence Unit Update.

Projection Models:

DCLG-Based Model

This model makes use of Household Representative Rates (HRR) from DCLG’s 2011-based household projections to convert populations by age and gender into households. The models uses iteration to find a population that yields a total number of households that matches the number of available household spaces implied by the development data. This iterative process involves modulating gross migration flows between each London local authority and UK regions outside of London. HRRs beyond 2021 have been extrapolated forward by the GLA. The model also produces a set of household projections consistent with the population outputs.

Capped Household Size Model

This model was introduced to provide an alternative projection based on the SHLAA housing trajectories. While the projections given by the DCLG-Based Model appear realistic for the majority of London, there are concerns that it could lead to under projection for certain local authorities, namely those in Outer London where recent population growth has primarily been driven by rising household sizes. For these boroughs, the Capped Household Size model provides greater freedom for the population to follow the growth patterns shown in the Trend-based projections, but caps average household size at 2012 levels. For boroughs where the DCLG-based SHLAA model gave higher results than the Trend-based model, the projections follow the results of the former.

Household projections are not available from this model.

Development assumptions:

SHLAA housing data

These projections incorporate development data from the 2013 Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) database to determine populations for 2012 onwards. Development trajectories are derived from this data for four phases: 2015-20, 2021-25, 2026-30, and 2031-36. For 2012-14, data is taken from the 2009 SHLAA trajectories. No data is included in the database for beyond 2036 and the 2031-36 trajectories are extended forward to 2041. This data was correct as at February 2014 and may be updated in future. Assumed development figures will not necessarily match information in the SHLAA report as some data on estate renewals is not included in the database at this time.

Ward: capped SHLAA-based

GLA 2013 round SHLAA-based household projections:
Borough: SHLAA-based

GLA 2013 round SHLAA-based ethnic group population projections:
Borough: SHLAA-based

Zero-development projections

The GLA produces so-called zero-development projections for London that assume that future dwelling stocks remain unchanged. These projections can be used in conjunction with the SHLAA-based projections to give an indication of the modelled impact of the assumed development. Variants are produced consistent with the DCLG-based and Capped Household Size projections. Due to the way the models operate, the former assumes no development beyond 2011 and the latter no development after 2012.

GLA 2013 round zero development population projections:
Borough: DCLG zero development
Borough: capped zero development
Ward: DCLG zero development
Ward: capped zero development

Frequently asked question: which projection should I use?

The GLA Demography Team recommends using the Capped Household Size SHLAA projection for most purposes. The main exception to this is for work estimating future housing need, where it is more appropriate to use the trend-based projections.

The custom-age population tool is here.

The Mayor’s ‘Housing in London’ report sets out the evidence base for his housing policies, summarising key patterns and trends across a wide range of topics relevant to housing in the capital. The report has informed the development of the Mayor’s London Housing Strategy published in May 2018.

Housing in London 2018 is divided into nine sections, including six core thematic chapters:

Key statistics for London boroughs

1. Historical background

2. Demographic, economic and social context

3. Housing supply and empty homes

4. Housing costs and affordability

5. Housing need

6. Mobility and decent homes

Discontinued charts

Appendices

The six core chapters of the report contain numerous tables, charts, and maps, and where possible the data behind them is contained in the spreadsheet.

Tables from the 2017, 2015, 2014 and 2011 reports are also available.

The GLA undertake regular polling of Londoners views both online and by telephone. A representative sample is interviewed, with quotas set by age, gender and borough. The results from these polls appear on this page.
