Input indicator: bonus grant per dwelling

This is the Total New Homes Bonus grant payable for a financial year, divided by number of dwellings rewarded. Calculations are available separately for shire areas, metropolitan areas and London.

#### How the figure is calculated:

For 2011-12: average grant payable in areas equals the total payment for increase in effective stock divided by the increase in the number of dwellings comprising the effective stock. Where the effective stock is defined as dwellings on the valuation list less recent demolitions less long-term empty homes. Growth in the effective stock is measured from October to October.

#### Why is this indicator in the business plan?

It is a measure of the financial reward for housing growth provided through the New Homes Bonus. This is a key DCLG policy.

#### How often is it updated?

Annually

#### Where does the data come from?

Council Tax Base returns. Published figures are available [here](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-and-local-government/series/council-taxbase-statistics).

#### What area does the headline figure cover?

England

#### Are further breakdowns of the data available?

Yes, can be split by Housing Authority area.

#### What does a change in this indicator show?

An increase in the average NHB grant payable may reflect an increase (i) in the proportion of homes receiving an affordable homes premium, (ii) a shift in distribution of homes awarded NHB at higher tax bands or (iii) an increase in the average national level of council tax for band D property (11 pence between 11/12 and 12/13).

#### Time Lag

Figures are published in advance of the financial year: initial figures in December and final figures in the February.

#### Next available update

Spring 2013

#### Type of Data

Official Statistics

#### Robustness and data limitations

The data used in calculating the New Homes Bonus are also used in calculating each local authority's Council Tax Base for Formula Grant purposes so this effectively ensures a 100% response rate before the release is compiled. Figures are subjected to rigorous pre-defined validation tests both within the form itself, while the form is being completed by the authority, and also in DCLG when the data are received and stored.

本数据集描绘了针对财政年度内新建住宅的总体奖金授予情况，该奖金按受奖住宅数量进行分摊。计算结果分别针对郡区、都市区域及伦敦地区单独提供。

#### 计算方法

对于2011-12年度：地区平均奖金支付额等于有效存量增加的总支付金额除以构成有效存量的住宅数量增加额。其中，有效存量定义为估值清单上的住宅减去近期拆除的住宅和长期空置住宅。有效存量的增长以10月至10月为衡量周期。

#### 此指标为何出现在商业计划中

该指标是衡量通过新建住宅奖金提供的住房增长经济回报的尺度，它是一项关键的DCLG（英国社区和地方政府部）政策。

#### 更新频率

年度更新

#### 数据来源

地方税收基础报表。发布的数据可在[此处](https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-communities-and-local-government/series/council-taxbase-statistics)获取。

#### 标题数据的覆盖区域

英格兰

#### 是否提供数据进一步细分

是，可以按住房管理局区域进行细分。

#### 此指标变化所表明的含义

平均NHB（新建住宅奖金）奖金支付额的增加可能反映以下情况之一：（i）获得经济适用房溢价住房的比例增加；（ii）获得NHB奖金的住房在更高税收档次上的分布发生转变；（iii）全国平均D类房产（2011/12至2012/13年间增加11便士）的地方税平均水平提高。

#### 时间滞后

数据在财政年度之前发布：初步数据在12月，最终数据在2月。

#### 下次更新时间

2013年春季

#### 数据类型

官方统计数据

#### 数据的稳健性和局限性

用于计算新建住宅奖金的数据同样用于计算每个地方当局的公式拨款的地方税收基础，这有效确保了发布前的100%响应率。数据在表单本身填写过程中以及DCLG接收和存储数据时都接受了严格的预先定义的验证测试。
