520			_aReports on the recent EMAP Glenigan survey of 2003 planning applications by house builders by type. Although the density requirements of PPG3 and the brownfield drive favour construction of flats rather than houses, the number of new homes that house builders applied to build fell by only 10% in 2003 compared to 2002. Houses (four bedrooms or fewer) remain the dominant housing type at 58% of all units applied for, whereas flats comprise 30% of all planned work. Both percentages are unchanged in 2002. Only student accommodation and luxury housing experienced growth in 2003. The number of new bungalows being built in 2003 fell by a third, a trend set to continue. Table covers top 40 house builders ranked by number of planning applications by house type in 2003.
