Housing Land Audit
This audit provides information on the available housing land supply to meet the goal of delivering new homes up to 2039, using 1 April 2024 as the base date. It enables us to:
- monitor the availability of effective sites
- identify the progress of sites through the planning process
- provide analysis on house completions
For each site, data on planning permissions and completions has been collected and combined with the expected build rates for each location.
Contributions for the audit were sought from developers through Homes for Scotland, housing associations, housing trusts, and landowners. These comments were considered alongside the views of council officers. The projected programme for each site is detailed in the Housing Land Audit 2024.
Details on sites and their schedule from 2024–25 to 2038–39 are available via the StoryMap, an interactive map, a downloadable summary document, or a CSV file from the Open Data Portal.
The detailed site-level information that makes up the Housing Land Audit can be accessed from the Highland Council Open Map Data Portal as a CSV file or in various map data formats, including site polygons.
The data in this Housing Land Audit 2024 aligns with the annual School Roll Forecasts and supports relevant Delivery Programmes.
