Housing land supply
Chichester Local Plan Area - Five Year Housing Land Supply 2024-2029
The attached report presents the council's assessment of five year housing land supply in the Chichester Local Plan area over the period 2024-2029. From 15 July 2020 the council's housing supply has been measured against a figure based on the Government's standard methodology for assessing housing need.
This statement reflects the position as at 1st April 24. This statement has been updated to include reference to the need to consider the progress of the Local Plan and the weight it carries in decision making.
The statement also updates housing need to the latest (District wide) standard method calculation - previously 1305 dwellings, but now 1307 with the latest affordability ratio update. An interim (for decision making) housing need figure for the plan area (excluding the SDNP) has been calculated at 979 dwellings per annum, with the method for this calculation set out in detail in the statement. This results in a housing supply figure of 2.01 years.

The Housing Delivery Test 2021 (opens new window) is an annual measurement of housing delivery in the plan-making authority's area. The Housing Delivery Test demonstrates that the council has successfully been delivering housing for the period 2018-2021 when measured against the housing requirement for that same period.
