The calculation of the supply is an important part of our regular monitoring and takes into account information on site viability and development activity.
The most recent calculation of housing land supply concludes that as of 1 April 2023 we can demonstrate a supply of 7.7 years. This is set out in our Housing and employment land report 2022-2023 which is available on our authority monitoring report page.

The housing delivery action plan complements the adopted Local Plan 2014-2035 and our other key strategies. There is no requirement, under the government's housing delivery test, for us to produce an action plan. It is, however, considered good practice to produce an action plan to continue to ensure that our identified housing need is met.
This is our second action plan, it updates and supersedes the December 2018 housing delivery action plan. This document reviews those actions from the previous housing delivery action plans and sets out what we have been doing to achieve them. It also sets out measures that we intend to undertake to support the delivery of new housing across the Harrogate district.
