Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-20844 by Paul McLennan on 13 September 2023, how many applications from (a) registered social landlords and (b) local authorities have been (i) received and (ii) approved for the National Acquisition Plan since its answer.
Answer
The following table shows the number of homes approved from applications received from (a) registered social landlords (b) local authorities since the National Acquisition Programme was announced on 19 July 2023. This information is to 31 January 2024:
National Acquisition Programme | Applications for nos. of homes received | No. of homes approved |
Registered Social Landlord | 184 | 133 |
Local Authority | 232 | 83 |
Total | 416 | 216 |
The figures above show that there were applications still under active appraisal during January. Some of these homes may now have been approved but information to end February is not yet available. It should also be noted that, in addition, applications were also received and approved prior to the announcement on the 19 July.
