Southwark must plan for 2,806 homes a year
Southwark has to plan for 2,806 new homes a year, 14,030 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Southwark. Only 4% 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 Southwark has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Southwark delivered 4,899 of the 7,065 homes it was required to: 69%. The government's published consequence: the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies.
What is on the brownfield register
778 live sites covering 383 hectares, of which 74 have no planning permission yet. 745 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.
