I have asked Angiolina Foster, Chief Executive of Communities Scotland, to reply. Her response is as follows:
No grading was given specifically to the needs assessment element of each local housing strategy. The assessment was undertaken as part of the “Housing Market General” segment of the “Housing Market Analysis, Needs Assessment and Problem Identification” critical criteria. The gradings given are:
