Sutton must plan for 1,651 homes a year
Sutton has to plan for 1,651 new homes a year, 8,255 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Sutton. Only 53% 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 Sutton has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Sutton delivered 1,145 of the 1,407 homes it was required to: 81%. The government's published consequence: the council must add a 20% buffer to its land supply.
What is on the brownfield register
103 live sites covering 48 hectares, of which 55 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.
