The number of affordable units granted final planning permission during 2017-18 by local authority and tenure, are reported to the department in question 10, Section I of the Local Authority Housing Statistics, which can be found at www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/local-authority-housing-statistics-data-returns-for-2017-to-2018.

The London Development Database (LDD) records more detailed information on significant planning permissions in London. The data is entered by London's planning authorities, and is checked by the GLA to ensure consistency across London. https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/planning-permissions-on-the-london-development-database--ldd-.
