Affordable Housing Supply Programme: out-turn report - 2023 to 2024

Monitoring of affordable housing investment benchmarks

All of the tables can be accessed via the supporting accessible Excel document.

We monitor the number of tender approvals which are approved at, above and below benchmark on an annual basis (with the exception of projects in Glasgow given that the City Council (a) has a separate standard that it requires RSLs to deliver to and (b) undertakes detailed appraisals of all projects) – and publish this information in our annual Affordable Housing Supply Programme out-turn report. We also analyse, for those projects that are approved over benchmark, the average person size of projects, as well as their geography and tenure (again with the exception of projects in Glasgow) – and publish this information in the annual Affordable Housing Supply Programme out-turn report. Tables 23, 24 and 25 provide the information.

Tables 26 and 27 show that we also monitor the cost of installing the following quality features in homes delivered by RSLs, councils and their respective subsidiaries and arms-length external organisations – automatic fire suppression systems and heating systems which produce zero direct emissions at the point of use. Cost information became a requirement of homes approved from November 2022 onwards.
