The question
To ask the Scottish Executive which local authorities have active policies, based on PAN 74, that set specific requirements on developers to provide affordable homes; how many affordable housing unit planning consents have been secured, and how many affordable homes had been built under such requirements in each local authority area and in total by March 2006.
The answer
This information is not held centrally at present. PAN 74 on affordable housing was introduced in March 2005and it will take time for all local authorities to adopt affordable housing policiesin line with this advice as part of their overall planning policies and for newhomes to be built. Early indications are that planning authorities are adoptingaffordable housing policies that reflect the advice in PAN 74 and that these arebeginning to deliver additional affordable housing units. However, we are puttingmonitoring arrangements in place to assess the effectiveness of the advice in PAN74.
