Land use statistics in England: methodology changes

We are seeking views on a new methodology for the collection of MHCLG's land use statistics for England.

What is being proposed

This consultation seeks views on a new methodology for the 3 sets of statistics about land use in England.

These statistics are:

Land use in England Land use change: new residential addresses Land use change: hectarage

We are considering how best to rebuild the land use statistics on Ordnance Survey’s National Geographic Database in a way that meets user needs.

Online, on the department's own form.
