How much land each council still has to find for new homes

East of England

South Norfolk must plan for 940 homes a year

South Norfolk has to plan for 940 new homes a year, 4,700 over 5 years.

No brownfield cover figure for South Norfolk. 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 South Norfolk has no brownfield land.

Delivery

Over the three years to March 2025, South Norfolk delivered 6,565 of the 5,902 homes it was required to: 111%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.

What is on the brownfield register

71 live sites covering 23 hectares, of which 7 have no planning permission yet. 71 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.
