The Department does not hold data centrally on the number of homes currently under construction. Data is recorded when a building is started, defined as the laying of the foundations and when the residence is completed, defined as when ready for occupation or supplied with a completion certificate. The length of time between these two points will vary and therefore we cannot know how many are currently under construction.

Statistics on house building starts in Bassetlaw District are published in the Department's live tables 253 (annually) and 253a (quarterly), which are available at the following link:
