Following the release of the new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), the Government has updated the method for estimating housing need. This has led to a significant increase in the number of homes that need to be delivered in most parts of the country.
To understand what the New Standard Method means, a new Pegasus interactive map breaks down the housing need figures by individual local authority (excluding areas with a Joint Local Plan). Each of the new housing need numbers are also compared to the previous standard method, alongside the figures used to inform the July 2024 consultation on the proposed changes to the NPPF.
