Overview

Summary of dataset and variables

The information presented here details the amount and changes to developer financial contributions received by planning authorities in each year towards the provision of affordable housing via planning obligations. Although it is generally expected that developer contributions to affordable housing are provided in-kind and on-site, a planning authority may exceptionally agree that it is preferable for a developer to make a financial or other contribution towards the objective of providing affordable housing, and these data show a summary of these contributions.

Data collection or calculation

The information presented here is collected via annual returns from Welsh planning authorities on the actual affordable housing provision delivered during each year.
