South Cambridgeshire must plan for 1,205 homes a year
South Cambridgeshire has to plan for 1,205 new homes a year, 6,025 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for South Cambridgeshire. Only 40% 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 South Cambridgeshire has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, South Cambridgeshire delivered 4,474 of the 3,032 homes it was required to: 148%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.
What is on the brownfield register
148 live sites covering 3,248 hectares, of which 5 have no planning permission yet. 89 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.
