Note: Figures may be updated in future publications as outstanding returns become available.
1. Includes estimates for outstanding returns for Highland from 2004 Qtr 2 onwards, East Ayrshire and Fife for 2005 Qtr3
2. Figures prior to 1999 will exclude those notified to Scottish Homes after the end of the relevant quarter - figures may differ from those in Scottish Homes' publications.
3. Excludes dwellings built for private use originally, but acquired by housing associations: these are included in the private sector figures.
4. Trends in unit approvals mean that the majority of approvals currently fall within the first quarter of the year. Further information on recent housing association approvals can be found in Communities Scotland's Affordable Housing Investment Programme Statistical Report for financial year 2004/2005.
