Delivery

Over the three years to March 2025, Derbyshire Dales delivered 589 of the 658 homes it was required to: 90%. The government's published consequence: the council must publish an action plan.

What is on the brownfield register

36 live sites covering 239 hectares, of which 10 have no planning permission yet. 7 give no housing estimate, so the capacity above is a floor, not a total.

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.
