Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Great Yarmouth delivered 992 of the 1,074 homes it was required to: 92%. The government's published consequence: the council must publish an action plan.
What is on the brownfield register
27 live sites covering 19 hectares, of which 11 have no planning permission yet. 5 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.
