14 Planning Consents for Affordable Housing survey The main users of this data are: Policy colleagues as part of the evidence in monitoring the effectiveness of PAN74 Housing colleagues to identify where the affordable houses are being given planning position

15 Developmental Work Housing Land Audits Initially being developed to provide data on the number of affordable housing units being built. Alternative approach to collecting affordable housing being considered. A consistent approach to producing the HLA across all Planning Authorities is being developed. The following areas are some of those that need to be consulted on: –Agreed core set of variables –Agreed definitions – housing completions

16 Developmental Work Scottish Generalised Land Use dataset A bid has been made for Planning research money to produce a Scottish GLUD. This would be based on the methodology used in England. This would break Scotland down into land parcels, covering –Buildings –Gardens –Paths –Roads –Greenspace

17 Developmental Work Scottish Generalised Land Use dataset As a second stage, consideration will be given to additional datasets that could be used to enhance the detail of basic GLUD. These would cover –Greenspace Scotland data –Address layer 2

18 Developmental Work Scottish Generalised Land Use dataset A Scottish GLUD would provide basic land use information for Scotland. This would be useful for a number of work areas with in the Scottish Government such as: –Planners –Flood Division –Rural Affairs Divisions Detailed maps on specific areas or to address specific questions could be developed as this dataset was used and expanded.
