Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Harborough delivered 2,177 of the 1,569 homes it was required to: 139%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.
What is on the brownfield register
24 live sites covering 11 hectares, of which 8 have no planning permission yet. 2 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.
