This report presents the findings from a combination of internal DCLG and externally commissioned research and analysis to provide an overall evaluation of the New Homes Bonus in the first 4 years of its implementation. We would welcome comments on the findings of this evaluation, which should be addressed to NewHomesBonus@communities.gsi.gov.uk.
It draws on findings from a range of evidence sources including case study qualitative and quantitative research commissioned by DCLG from a consortium led by the University of Sheffield, a DCLG analysis of the financial impacts on individual authorities and findings from the 2013 British Social Attitudes survey.
