Broxbourne must plan for 776 homes a year
Broxbourne has to plan for 776 new homes a year, 3,880 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Broxbourne. Only 0% 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 Broxbourne has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Broxbourne delivered 1,492 of the 1,362 homes it was required to: 110%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.
What is on the brownfield register
37 live sites covering 42 hectares, of which 12 have no planning permission yet. 37 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.
