This report provides detailed retrospective analysis of the new homes built by Registered Providers in England over the period 1989 to 2009. The research, funded jointly by the Tenant Services Authority and the Homes and Communities Agency, was carried out by a team drawn from the Universities of Sheffield and Cambridge and the London School of Economics. The research used a wide range of data to investigate in detail what new homes were built by England’s Registered Providers, where these were located and who rented or bought them. In particular, the research: looked in detail at the types and sizes of new homes that were constructed and how these changed over time; mapped where all these homes were built at the postcode level across the whole of England and linked this to new analyses of social deprivation and tenure mix; and used anonymous data on tenants analysed who were being allocated these new homes or who bought new low cost homes, including the social, economic and demographic characteristics of the households that moved into them. Appendices to the report are also available online.
