Current status: Answered by Ivan McKee on 5 December 2024
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the statement by the Minister for Public Finance on 12 November 2024 that more than 164,000 homes have planning permission but have not yet been built, which organisations it consulted in order to make this estimate.
Specific consultation was not undertaken in creating this summary statistic. The estimate is based on information published by local authorities as part of their annual Housing Land Audits, and any local consultation processes carried out as they are prepared.
