Boston must plan for 357 homes a year
Boston has to plan for 357 new homes a year, 1,785 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Boston. Only 50% of the sites on this council's brownfield register give a housing estimate, so its capacity cannot be totalled. We publish the cover figure only where at least 80% do.
That is a gap in the register, not evidence that Boston has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Boston delivered 966 of the 761 homes it was required to: 127%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.
What is on the brownfield register
46 live sites covering 36 hectares, of which 6 have no planning permission yet. 23 of them give no housing estimate.
A council short of land has to find more, and the 17 August 2026 planning framework widened what counts as grey belt. This page describes the council's position. It does not say whether any particular piece of land would get permission.
