3. TENURE AND PLANNING AUTHORITY BREAKDOWN
- Section 3 provides a breakdown of affordable housing granted planning consent (during 2005/07) by tenure and planning authority.
- Table 4 shows a tenure breakdown of affordable housing granted planning consent. 71 per cent (8,672 units) of all housing granted planned consent during the survey period are for rent by a RSL. This accounts for 80 per cent of affordable housing entirely publicly funded and 41 per cent of affordable housing with a developer contribution.
- 12 per cent (1,516 units) of all affordable housing granted planned consent are for low cost homeownership by a RSL. This accounts for 10 per cent of affordable housing entirely publicly funded and 21 per cent of affordable housing with a developer contribution. 36 per cent of all low-cost home ownership units granted planning consent involve a developer contribution. This compares to 13 per cent of all consented units for social rent by a RSL.
- 3 per cent (345 units) of all affordable housing granted planning consent during 2005/07 are to be for rent by the local authority. This is split into 262 granted planning consent in Midlothian, 46 in East Lothian, 33 in Aberdeen City and 4 in Falkirk.
- 12 per cent of all affordable units granted planning consent during the survey reporting period currently have an unknown tenure type (and this accounts for almost one third of all units provided by way of developer contribution). This may be due to proposed developments not being at an advanced enough stage yet for Planning Authorities to know final decisions on tenure (some Planning Applications will not distinguish tenure types beyond affordable status). These unknown units should be re-classified into other tenure types as events develop (and this will be recorded in future issues of the survey).

- Table 5 (below) shows a breakdown of planning consents for affordable housing (during 2005/07) by Planning Authority. This also shows what type of contribution is being made towards affordable housing by Planning Authority. Some Planning Authorities also agree commuted payments with developers for affordable housing, information on this is available in Section 5. This section contains illustrative maps on affordable housing planning consents (for the South of Scotland, Central Scotland and the North of Scotland).

2. See Annex for further details on Contribution Types and the recording of Planning Applications.
3. Entirely Public Contribution includes where a Registered Social Landlord intends to supply commercially raised funds.
4. Developer Contributes Land/Units is where developer agrees to provide land/built units to a Registered Social Landlord (or other body) at a price that allows for the provision of affordable housing.

Map 3: Contribution Towards Affordable Housing - NORTH OF SCOTLAND
- Table 5 (and Maps 1, 2 and 3) show that the highest number of affordable housing units granted consent during the survey reporting period were in Glasgow City (1,952 units), followed by Highland (1,331 units), Edinburgh (1,172 units) and Fife (589 units). Collectively those 4 Planning Authorities account for over 40 per cent of all affordable housing units granted planning consent during 2005/07.
- Within 12 Planning Authorities, 100 per cent of consented affordable units are to be entirely publicly funded. This includes a mixture of urban authorities (such as Glasgow City and Dundee City) and more rural authorities (Eilean Siar, Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands).
- In terms of contributed units, those Planning Authorities who granted consent to the largest amount of affordable housing with a developer contribution were Highland (664 units), Edinburgh (636 units) and Perth and Kinross (266 units). Collectively those 3 Planning Authorities account for 59 per cent of all affordable housing granted consent (with a developer contribution) during 2005/07.
- Developers agreeing to sell units to private individuals at below market rate (as part of Planning Agreements) remains relatively rare. Only 88 units were granted planning consent during 2005/07 under this scenario. They were mainly drawn from Midlothian (33 units) and Clackmannanshire (30 units).
- 'Other Type of Developer Contribution' refers to various types of contribution which cannot presently be categorised under one of the other headings. Quite often this is because although affordable units have been granted planning consent (either full or outline), decisions on final contribution types have not yet been reached. This currently accounts for 2 per cent (278 units) of all affordable housing granted planning consent during 2005/07.
