Housing monitoring

We monitor housing land availability - the development of new sites and supply of land with planning permission.

Update December 2024

Following the publication of the revised National Planning Policy Framework on 12 December 2024, the Council has recalculated its housing need.

The National Planning Policy Framework 2024 states that local planning authorities should identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide a minimum of five years’ worth of housing against their housing requirement set out in adopted strategic policies, or against their local housing need where the strategic policies are more than five years old. The local housing need figure for Charnwood Borough is 978 homes per year.

As of April 1, 2024, Charnwood Borough’s housing supply is based upon 978 homes required per year and its five years housing land supply is 5.78 years.

The attached documents provide a breakdown of how this is calculated.

For more information about the housing supply position please take a look at our Frequently Asked Questions page.

Authority monitoring report

Housing and employment land data and the latest housing trajectory are available in the Authority Monitoring Report (formerly Annual Monitoring Report).

All councils are required to produce an Authority Monitoring Report at least annually. This will be the main way to assess the Local Plan's performance and effects.
