Estimates of building control reported new build dwelling completions, by tenure, in each local authority district in England, are shown in Live Table 253, at the following link.

These cover new build dwellings only and should be regarded as a leading indicator of overall housing supply. The department also publishes an annual release entitled 'Housing supply: net additional dwellings, England', which is the primary and most comprehensive measure of housing supply.

Information on new build units by provider and geography can be derived from the affordable housing supply open data available here.

The latest available data is for the financial year 2021-22.

Statistics at Huddersfield parliamentary constituency level are not centrally collected.
