Written Question
Monday 15th April 2019
Asked by:
Damien Moore (Conservative - Southport)
Question
to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many individual dwellings have gardens in each local authority in England and Wales according to valuation data held by the Valuation Office Agency in (a) absolute terms, (b) as a proportion of the total number of dwellings in that local authority and (c) as a proportion of dwellings for which recorded data is held on that indicator in that local authority.
Answered by Elizabeth Truss
The Valuation Office Agency (VOA) does not hold information on which domestic properties have gardens. While the VOA used to have value significant codes (VSCs) relating to gardens, this data is no longer collected. While the VOA holds some data on plot sizes for domestic properties, this data is not complete, as it is no longer routinely collected, and cannot be used to determine whether a property has a garden.
