Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage

11:25 am

Ms Maria Graham:

At the time of Housing for All, based on a 2020 survey, which we will be updating shortly, there were 123 developments, of which 58 were unoccupied. At the time of the survey there were 326 houses vacant and 13 apartments. We do a survey of unfinished housing estates annually, and we will be updating it. These are very much the legacy cases. If issues emerge of the type to which the Deputy refers, we can work with local authorities to work through it. The process involves working through whatever bonds or issues are concerned to bring those estates back into use.
