Melton must plan for 371 homes a year
Melton has to plan for 371 new homes a year, 1,855 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Melton. Only 34% 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 Melton has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Melton delivered 1,156 of the 608 homes it was required to: 190%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.
What is on the brownfield register
50 live sites covering 66 hectares, of which 13 have no planning permission yet. 33 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.
