25 April 2008 - Revisions to figures on new social housing between 1999 and 2007

• A number of starts and completions which had been included in housing association new build tables are in fact completions by private individuals or developers who have received public funding under subsidy schemes designed to provide affordable housing. It is likely that these developments have been double counted in the data which councils provide on private housing starts and completions, and so amendments have been made to both the housing association and total new build starts and completions. A note explaining the revisions is available here, and revised tables can be accessed through the links below.
