Hyndburn must plan for 304 homes a year
Hyndburn has to plan for 304 new homes a year, 1,520 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Hyndburn. 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 Hyndburn has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Hyndburn delivered 632 of the 154 homes it was required to: 411%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.
What is on the brownfield register
38 live sites covering 30 hectares, of which 17 have no planning permission yet. 18 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.
