Housing: Construction

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government when they will publish up-to-date Housing Delivery Test results for local planning authorities in England; and what are the reasons for the ongoing delay in their publication.

Answer

Following delays to the publication of the 2023 Housing Delivery Test (HDT) results under the previous government, this government is committed to re-establishing a regular publication cycle. We therefore combined the data collections for the 2024 and 2025 HDTs and intend to publish both sets of results as soon as possible.
