Question:
To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the social housing projects in each constituency that are currently behind schedule.

Answer:

In Table 1 below I have summarised the new build social housing schemes under construction for which the currently estimated completion date is later than the originally estimated completion date, broken down by Parliamentary Constituency. In Table 2 I have provided details of the schemes affected.

Some of the delays are attributable to the impact of pandemic-related restrictions, but there can be other delaying factors e.g. requirement for planning amendments, re-tender for the construction works etc. Housing associations have provided assurance that the schemes will progress to completion as quickly as possible. Figures attached below.
