The data represents the numbers of additional units delivered or planned in each year by the registered social landlords (RSLs), but excludes activity by the local authorities and other private or voluntary sector developers.The focus of this dataset is on additional affordable housing units delivered, and these are defined as those provided through new build schemes or through the purchase, leasing or conversion of existing units. This therefore excludes existing affordable units that have been renovated or refurbished, as they are not classed as being additional. However, where an existing unit has been converted into two separate units, then this represents an additional affordable unit delivered. Conversely where there was a net loss of affordable units within a property over the year there are no additional affordable housing units delivered. For example, if two self contained flats in one property were converted into one family home, then the number of additional units is classed as zero, although note that that is not recorded as a negative change to the number of additional units delivered.
In this context, delivered means that the unit is completed and is available for occupation.
Figures for the affordable housing activity by registered social landlords in local authority and national park areas are available separately within this dataset. However, because the boundaries of the national parks fall within those of the local authorities, then to avoid double counting, please do not add the data for the two area types when calculating Wales figures. Instead please use the Wales figures presented here (which coincide with the figures for the total of all local authority areas).
Data collection and calculation
The information presented here is collected via annual returns from Welsh registered social landlords on the actual affordable housing provision delivered during each year. The collection also requests the estimated future provision for the following two years.Frequency of publication
