Barking and Dagenham must plan for 1,338 homes a year
Barking and Dagenham has to plan for 1,338 new homes a year, 6,690 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Barking and Dagenham. Only 69% 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 Barking and Dagenham has no brownfield land.
