A NOTTINGHAMSHIRE council needs to bridge a gap of more than 800 homes in its housing supply over the next five years.

Gedling Borough Council's housing deficit was noted in the authority's cabinet meeting on Thursday in a report outlining its five-year housing land supply position as at the end of March 2025.

National planning policy requires council's to update their housing land supply assessments each year and Gedling's most recent one is showing an under supply of 846 homes by the end of March 2030.

It is assessed against the housing requirement calculated using the government's 'standard methodology' - used for calculating the minimum housing need for each local authority - which was updated in December 2024 as part of the Labour Government's push for 300,000 new homes a year.
