Number of houses built vs National quota
Dear Colchester Borough Council,
I understand that central government puts a quota on local councils and areas to build houses. Can you please tell me for the last 10 years what Colchester's quota was by year.
If Colchester is grouped with other councils or towns I'd still like to know our combined quota so I can work out the percentage Colchester is taking.
I would also like to know the number of actual houses approved/ built in Colchester during that timeframe by year as a comparison.
Please prioritise over my other requests if possible.
Yours faithfully,
Thomas Rowe
