Request

1. The total number of dwellings in developments that were granted planning permission by the council between 5 July 2024 and 4 January 2025 - and how many of these dwellings are currently designated as being for social rent*? (For the avoidance of doubt, please count individual units within multi-home developments as separate dwellings - e.g. count a block of 20 flats as 20 dwellings, etc.)

* To be clear, we are asking for data specifically on dwellings that will be let at social rent, and do not want statistics on umbrella categories such as "affordable". This is the case for every question in this FOI request that asks about social rent dwellings.

1a. If possible, please provide a breakdown of this data for each month, detailing the total number of dwellings given planning permission and how many of these are for social rent.

1b. If possible, of the dwellings currently designated as being for social rent, please provide a breakdown of how many are one-bed, two-bed, three-bed, have more than three bedrooms or have an unspecified number of bedrooms.

2. What is your policy on the proportion of units in each new development in your area that should be for social rent, and has this changed since 5 July 2024?
