Home > > > > Housing Land Supply

The National Planning Policy Framework requires planning authorities to update annually a statement setting out the supply of deliverable sites for housing to provide at least five years’ worth of supply against housing requirements. The Statement of Housing Land Supply for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2029 was published in November 2024 which identified a 5 year land supply in both Local Plan areas. In December 2024 an updated National Planning Policy Framework and an updated methodology for calculating housing need were published. Accordingly, the Interim Housing Position Statement (March 2025) outlines East Suffolk’s new housing land supply position.

The statement confirms that the Suffolk Coastal Local Plan area of East Suffolk has a housing land supply of 6.08 years.

The statement confirms that the Waveney Local Plan area of East Suffolk has a housing land supply of 3.33 years.
