Measuring our progress
Due to the changing nature of the private sector housing market, measuring the success of this plan is not always straightforward. Changing environmental and economic factors can have a significant impact on both the private sector market (house prices & rental values) as well as customer perception with the built environment, perception of homes and communities.
The priorities within the themes of the PSHP are focused on 2028. To track and measure these, the table below identifies some key metrics that we will be monitored on an annual basis with a view measuring our success in in 2028.
