5YHLS rankings: lowest first
Every authority ranked by its latest published five-year housing land supply, starting with those that have the least. Councils with no current figure are listed separately: missing data is never treated as zero.

Compare like with like
Figures have different base dates and may use different requirements and buffers. A 2.1-year figure from 2023 is not directly comparable with a 2026 one, so the base date sits next to every figure.
Council-published or tested?
We show the council's own published figure by default. Where an inspector has found a different figure at appeal or examination, that is recorded too, with its source, and labelled.
Low supply, then sites
Low-supply authorities are where unplanned housing proposals are most likely. See sites in authorities below 3 years →
