South Tyneside must plan for 626 homes a year
South Tyneside has to plan for 626 new homes a year, 3,130 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for South Tyneside. Only 67% 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 Tyneside has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, South Tyneside delivered 505 of the 949 homes it was required to: 53%. The government's published consequence: the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies.
What is on the brownfield register
73 live sites covering 110 hectares, of which 48 have no planning permission yet. 24 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.
