Housing: Construction
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what (a) Home England's and (b) his Department’s definition is of a housing start.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
When referring to housing starts, my Department uses the definition for “new build dwelling start” in housing supply statistics and “start on site” in its affordable housing statistics. Homes England also uses the term “start on site” to refer to housing starts. Both terms are defined in the Housing Statistics and English Housing Survey glossary which can be found on gov.uk here.
