Our clients build successful strategies not only from an in-depth knowledge of the current landscape but also from anticipating how that landscape is likely to change. Understanding the latest housing and population trends helps to reveal areas of demand and opportunities for growth, vital metrics to inform business and infrastructure planning in any sector.
Edge Analytics has developed a comprehensive database dedicated to the collection, management and presentation of demographic and Local Plan housing evidence, in one consistent, accessible format. It brings together data from all planning authorities across England, Scotland and Wales, including local authorities, national parks and strategic and joint planning areas.
This data is available to view in groups:
Completions: How many homes have been built?
Need: How many homes are needed ie. what is the scale of demand for housing?
Requirements: What are the housing provision targets?
Supply: How much land is available for housing delivery?
Delivery: What is the expected rate of housing delivery?
Sites: Where specifically is housing growth planned?
The dataset is derived from primary research and Local Plan information to create a hyper-clean and consistent database, with ongoing updates and accurate geo-coding to provide unmatched levels of precision. It is compiled from information provided by local planning authorities and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC). Data is collected at a macro- and micro-level, covering individual planning authorities and locations where housing growth is planned.
Data is collected from published sources including:
• Housing needs assessments
• Planning permissions
• Housing growth plans
• 5-year land supply
• Profile of demographic change
• Site-level data
Edge’s unique template provides a structured, unified basis for data capture, presenting data and documentation in a coherent format. This feeds Edge’s demographic forecasting models and analyses and is available for delivery to clients, either as a partial extract or as a full data delivery covering macro and micro areas and bespoke geographies.
This chart shows estimated future dwellings across a given area, just one of the applications of the housing growth dataset.
Data is available on a range of metrics including:
• Local Plan status
• Housing requirements & targets
• Housing completions
• Housing trajectories
• Land supply
• MHCLG completions
• Housing Delivery Test
• Geocoded site data
• Brownfield site data
• GIS files (where available)
In combination with the Local Data Company’s retail and leisure location data, this highly-flexible dataset becomes even more powerful.
