Where does the Homes & Communities Agency own land?Housingnet are currently working with Land Registry data and although we're concentrating on Housing Association owned titles this news from last Friday piqued our interest - 9,000 Midland house plots 'sat on' by Homes and Communities Agency This image shows all Land Registry titles owned by the HCA. Some will not be suitable for housing eg. ‘Electricity Sub-Station’ although I’m sure if it ever stopped being a sub-station someone could fit a house on it or in it. The HCA own 141 properties on this land but the Google Earth image is out of data as there is definitely a large Waitrose there now. Titles by area
We are currently plotting all registered titles owned by, mainly, English Housing Associations and are looking at ways to make this data useful - suggestions welcome. We have 1.2M mapped so far and are now concentrating on cities with Liverpool to be completed this week. We'll post an image of Liverpool when it's completed as the density of Social Housing in some areas is really interesting. © Crown Copyright material is reproduced with the permission of Land Registry under delegated authority from the Controller of HMSO.
