Housing Delivery Test

The Housing Delivery Test is an annual measurement of housing delivery published annually by the government at local authority level.

Preparation of a Housing Delivery Test Action Plan is required if housing delivery in the preceding three years is less than 95% of the housing delivery requirement set by the government.

The result of the 2021 Housing Delivery Test covering the period 2018/19-2020/21 was published by the government in January 2022 and the results show that the council achieved a 'Pass' score of 141% in the Housing Delivery Test 2021 Measurement.
