Housing: Construction

Asked by Mr Andrew SnowdenConservativeMinistry of Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentTabled Answered 26 May 2026UIN 1565

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many new homes have been built in (a) Fylde constituency, (b) Lancashire and (c) England since July 2024.

Answered by Matthew Pennycook

My Department publishes a quarterly release entitled ‘Housing supply: Indicators of New Supply, England’, which includes estimates of new build starts and completions in England, Lancashire and in each local authority district. Statistics from the quarter starting July 2024 to the quarter ending December 2025 can be found in Live Table 253a on gov.uk here. This dataset covers new build dwellings only and should be regarded as a leading indicator of overall housing supply.

My Department also publishes an annual release entitled ‘Housing supply: net additional dwellings, England’, which is the primary and most comprehensive measure of housing supply. This includes estimates of new homes built in each local authority, in each financial year, to 2024-25 and can be found in Live Table 123 on gov.uk here. Figures at parliamentary constituency level are not centrally collected.
