Housing Permissions 2018 PDF 60 KB Report of the Service Director, Communities and Environment Minutes: The Committee received a report providing an update on the Housing Decisions made in 2018.
In 2018, 109 decisions on housing applications have been made, 7 of these were withdrawn, 16 refused and 86 granted. This has granted a total of 1822 new dwellings in Gateshead.
In the past six weeks, 9 applications have been granted and minded to grant at Planning and Development Committee with a combined total of 1373 dwellings.
The Committee were advised that the results of the Housing Delivery Test are likely to show that the level of housing delivery in Gateshead is not keeping pace with the amount required in the Council’s Local Plan. As a result there will be a requirement for the Council to produce an Action Plan to set out the causes of under delivery and to put in place measures to increase delivery. There are several factors affecting the level of housing delivery in the Borough a number of which the Council has limited control over. However the granting of planning permission for development that meets the policies in the Local Plan reduces a potential barrier to housing development.
