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

London

Brent must plan for 3,047 homes a year

Brent has to plan for 3,047 new homes a year, 15,235 over 5 years.

No brownfield cover figure for Brent. Only 76% 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 Brent has no brownfield land.

Delivery

Over the three years to March 2025, Brent delivered 3,907 of the 6,975 homes it was required to: 56%. The government's published consequence: the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies.

What is on the brownfield register

199 live sites covering 214 hectares, of which 63 have no planning permission yet. 48 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.
