Rossendale must plan for 331 homes a year
Rossendale has to plan for 331 new homes a year, 1,655 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Rossendale. 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 Rossendale has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Rossendale delivered 530 of the 550 homes it was required to: 96%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.
What is on the brownfield register
34 live sites covering 11 hectares, of which 18 have no planning permission yet. 8 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.
