Midlothian Council Housing Land Audit 2020
1 - Introduction
The Housing Land Audit (HLA) is the established means of monitoring and
managing the housing land supply. Audits are undertaken annually (based on the
financial year of 31st March – 1st April) and establish the availability of effective housing
land at that time, for the next five years and beyond. The Audit also indicates the
progress of sites through the planning process, house completions and a programme of
development to ensure that there is enough effective housing land for at least five
years. The Audit is shared with Homes for Scotland (HfS) and other infrastructure
providers.
HLA 20 is an assessment of the housing land supply in Midlothian at 31st March
2020. It comprises the following six schedules:
Summary – an overview of the supply situation;
Main Schedule – information on the status of and indicative programming for
effective sites in the supply;
Completions – numbers of units completed at sites, both in the 2019/20 financial
year specifically and in total on sites with completions in previous financial years;
Constrained Sites – sites in the supply which are not effective;
Safeguarded Sites – sites associated with housing allocations which have
potential for further expansion in the longer term and which could be brought
forward through the next development plan, if required;
Site Notes – additional information on sites, including their planning application
and building warrant references.
The schedules include all new housing development, redevelopment, conversion
and sub-division consisting of five or more units. Refurbishment of existing housing stock
is excluded. Small sites (of four units or less) are shown as an aggregation for each
settlement and are combined with allocated and windfall sites to provide a summary of
the housing situation for each settlement in Midlothian. These in turn are aggregated to
the Housing Market Area (HMA) level. There are two of these in Midlothian and their
boundaries and the settlements they contain are shown in figure 1 on the next page. A
map of the sites within the Audit is included at the back of this document and an online
version with interactive site information is also available. It can be found here:
www.midlothian.gov.uk/info/205/planning_policy/458/housing_land_audit
The Council will continue to work with HfS, house builders and other agencies to
ensure the delivery of housing in Midlothian.

3 – Housing Supply Summary
In addition to the seven sites that were completed during the financial year,
there are a total of 100 sites in the Main Schedule of HLA 20. This partly reflects the
original Shawfair site (h43) now being split into its various plots in the Audit and the
same approach being taken with site h58 at north-west Penicuik, however even
accounting for this, 100 is the largest number of sites in an Audit for at least a decade,
with the exception of last year. 67 of these are at greenfield locations and the remaining
33 are on previously-developed land. The following two figures provide a further
breakdown of the sites by planning application status and by land supply source.

The Midlothian housing market is characterised by the presence of a range of
house builders. Table 2 provides a summary of its major-players alongside the number
of sites they are taking forward and the total capacity of these. It is also worth noting
that a number of other site developers/promoters and smaller house builders also
operate within Midlothian. These are excluded from the table below for conciseness,
however full details are provided in the Main Schedule of the Audit.

Figures also include the various

MLDP capacities – site constraints mean it is not
clear how much of this is deliverable.
HLA 20 identifies a total established housing land supply of 11,941 units and a
programmed supply of 5,496 house completions over the period 2020/21 to 2024/25,
which equates to an effective housing land supply of 6.1 years (based on current delivery
estimates)1. This compares favourably with both Midlothian’s past ten-year average of

4,900 and to equivalent figures from other Scottish Local Authorities (as reported in
their past Planning Performance Framework reports). Moreover, it should also be borne
in mind that this figure does not account for new windfall sites that will inevitably enter
the supply over the coming five years.
HLA 20 identifies 611 housing unit completions in the Audit year. This is a
decrease of 11% on the previous year (which was the highest figure since 2008/09) and
compares to a five-year rolling average prior to the current Audit year of 630 units per
annum. 611 units is broadly in line with a plateauing of yearly completions since around
2014 – in years prior to this fewer units were built (figure 4 below). It should be noted
that the fall in completions between 2019/20 and the previous year is not due to the
Coronavirus outbreak (see section 5).

Figure 4: Ten-year trend of housing completions in Midlothian.
In terms of the distribution of dwellings built across Midlothian’s settlements
(figure 5), the most notable feature is the emergence of Shawfair as where most
completions took place during 2019/20. The previous year was the first occasion where
the number of units built there reached into three figures and activity has accelerated
since, with another 143 units built. This is due to work proceeding at pace at MacTaggart
& Mickel’s development in Shawfair itself and Bellway and Miller’s sites at South
Danderhall. Though Miller Homes will be completed during 2020/21, it is probable that
Shawfair will continue to be Midlothian’s fastest growing settlement. This is due to
MacTaggart & Mickel having a second phase to move on to, pending applications from
Barratt Homes and Stewart Milne Homes for 163 units and 143 units respectively and
Dandara starting construction at their development there during the Audit year.
Penicuik, Bonnyrigg/Lasswade and Gorebridge form a group of settlements in
which around 100 units were built in 2019/20. It is expected that completions at
Penicuik will increase in future given that Bellway became the third house-builder on
site at h58, North West Penicuik, alongside CALA and Avant. In Gorebridge, meanwhile,
6Midlothian Council Housing Land Audit 2020
Taylor Wimpey’s development of 211 units at Harvieston is nearing completion while
Persimmon have progressed the final area of their h36 site considerably, with the first
phase of this being sold out.
2019/20 saw the final private units completed at the original Hopefield housing
allocation in Bonnyrigg. This major residential development has seen 1,300 units, a new
distributor road and a primary school built on land set aside in the 2003 Local Plan. It
has been the main factor in Bonnyrigg overtaking Penicuik to become the most populous
settlement in Midlothian. A planning application has since been submitted for 16
affordable homes and a retail unit for the small remaining undeveloped part of the
original Hopefield allocation, while Taylor Wimpey intend to take forward the newer
allocations from the MLDP there – they submitted an application for consent in principle
for 1,000 units at site Hs12 and its associated ‘safeguarded’ allocation.
Completions at Loanhead remained steady, with housing sites there being in a
later phase of the development cycle. The two small windfall housing sites at Clerk
Street and the Former Loanhead Hospital are expected to be completed during 2020/21,
the second of the three portions of the Ashgrove site was completed during the Audit
year and the first occupations took place at Barratt’s development of the former
Paradykes Primary School site. This means that, at the current time, there are no units
planned to be built in the town beyond 22/23 (with the exception of small sites or less
than 5 units).

HLA 19 was the first Audit from Midlothian Council to provide a breakdown of
completions between the market and affordable sectors. It reported 119 affordable
units built together with another 18 properties purchased by Housing Services on the
open market. The equivalent figures for 2019/20 were 70 units built and 48 properties
purchased. Further details on this topic are provided in the latest Strategic Housing
Investment Plan report. A link to this is provided in Section 6.
The 2019/20 financial year saw a number of applications for major developments
approved. These are listed in the table below alongside their relevant planning
application reference numbers, which can be looked up on the Planning and Building
Standards Portal on the Midlothian Council website. A link to it is also provided in Section
6. A link is also provided to direct readers to Planning Committee documents which
include updates on the progress of major applications for every meeting.

Note: many of these applications are amendments to earlier consents or are applications for
detailed planning permission at sites that already had consent in principle. For this reason, the
number of units consented at specific sites should not be compared between years – the
information in the table should be viewed as a one-year snap-shot.

4 – Property Market Summary
House price data adds context to the Midlothian housing supply situation in the six
schedules on the following pages that comprise the HLA. This data was obtained from
Registers of Scotland and a link to it is provided in Section 62. It is important to note that
they refer to the prices of properties sold only, as it is at this point where the transaction
value becomes available. Prices of the stock more generally may differ from those that
come on the market.
There were approximately 1,900 property transactions in Midlothian during
2019/20, which is comparable to the number seen over the past five years. The total
value of these transactions was £430 million during the 2019/20 year, somewhat higher
than the previous year (£390 million).
Selling prices of homes in Midlothian have risen steadily in the past few years,
from an average of £180,000 in 2014/15 to nearly £230,000 in 2019/20. Homes in
Midlothian are also some of the most expensive in Scotland – the average selling price
across the country in 2019/20 was £180,000. At certain points during the year, average
selling prices in Midlothian have reached £240,000, which was the highest for at least
five years. Prices in the areas are generally amongst the highest in Scotland, with
neighbouring Edinburgh and East Lothian also being expensive. For comparison, the
lowest average house prices were in East Ayrshire. Table 3 summarises the most
expensive and most affordable Councils in Scotland by house selling price for the final
quarter of the Audit year.

Figure 6 provides a visual comparison of average selling prices for homes in
Midlothian against the Scottish average. It can be seen that while prices have generally

that prices can be skewed upwards by a small number of sales of particularly expensive
properties.

increased over recent years, they have increased more in Midlothian than across the
country as a whole. This has led to a situation where the gap between house prices in
Midlothian and Scotland has widened. This trend may be due to newer housing
developments in Midlothian being composed of a higher portion of larger, family homes
than is typical for the region – in other words, it may reflect a change in composition of
the local housing stock rather than solely an increase in price. It may also reflect
increased demand for homes within the county as buyers could become priced out of
the Edinburgh market or seek better value close to but outside the city.

5 – Implications of the Coronavirus Outbreak
The Coronavirus outbreak of 2020 has had some notable implications for housing
activity in Midlothian and for how this Audit was put together.
It was noted earlier that 611 completions for 2019/20 is lower than the five-year
rolling average (630 units/year) and the total for 2018/19 (685 units). This was fall was
not due to the ‘lockdown’ and its associated impacts on housing matters such as the
cessation of building work, the temporary closure of the application record by Registers
of Scotland from late-March and the advice from the Scottish Government to delay
moving home wherever possible. Such impacts occurred after the end of the financial
year and will therefore be reflected within HLA 21.
The Coronavirus restrictions have also had implications for the methodology used
in this year’s Audit. The draft is traditionally shared with HfS who consult their members
10Midlothian Council Housing Land Audit 2020
on anticipated programming, compile it and bring it to a meeting with Council staff
where programming is mutually agreed. This procedure was followed again, albeit
remotely rather than in physical proximity, along with several other means which were
used this year to obtain programming which is as accurate as possible. These include:
Direct contact with house-builders – all of the major-players in Midlothian were
sent requests for programming;
More site visits than usual – all developments that were under construction
before lockdown were visited to determine both whether building work had
recommenced and the state of play regarding the number of units being worked
on, that were nearing completion and that were occupied;
Consulting Planning Officer’s case files and building warrants for the most recent
activity regarding sites;
Research on housing market activity, including news articles - particularly those
regarding Construction Scotland’s site Restart Plan – as well as direct contact
with sales staff at sites;
Reviewing past completions figures for sites that had previously delivered
finished units in prior Audits;
Reviewing HfS guidelines on programming.
For these reasons, the programming is as accurate as possible under the
circumstances of the virus restrictions and its consequences. It should be noted that it
reflects the situation at the time of writing (late 2020) and any if restrictions were
imposed again, this would have knock-on effects for site programming.
