Five Year Housing Land Supply Statement
At 1st April 2023, the Council can demonstrate a housing land supply of 4.72 years. Full details on the methodology used and supply of sites can be found in the Housing Land Supply Position Statement 2023/24, published 6th November 2023 (PDF 8.02MB).
Please note, the Councils Housing Land Supply Position Statement does not reflect the outcome of the Government’s Housing Delivery Test, published January 2021, which showed performance of 74% of the Council’s housing requirement.
Upon further investigation, there had been an error and the results were re-run by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC). The Swale results are now confirmed as 105%.
You can email us at policyresponses@swale.gov.uk for a copy of the email exchange and confirmation of the final results.
