Collection
Land use change statistics
This collection brings together all documents relating to land use change statistics.
These statistics show the amounts and location of land changing use in England.
They provide a way of monitoring development such as changes to residential use. They also provide information on the percentage of new dwellings built on previously-developed land and non previously-developed land, the percentage of housing development in flood risk areas, on agricultural land and in the green belt and the density (dwellings per hectare) of new housing.
The methodology used to produce land use change statistics is changing. Guidance detailing these changes can be found in land use change statistics: methodology changes guidance.
Feedback
DCLG are interested in understanding more about how our land use data is used and the decisions they inform. This is important for us so we can provide a high quality service which meets users’ needs.
We would be grateful if you could spend 3 minutes completing this survey. Otherwise contact us at planning.statistics@communities.gsi.gov.uk.
