How much land each council still has to find for new homes

North West

South Ribble must plan for 515 homes a year

South Ribble has to plan for 515 new homes a year, 2,575 over 5 years.

No brownfield cover figure for South Ribble. Only 56% 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 Ribble has no brownfield land.

Delivery

Over the three years to March 2025, South Ribble delivered 1,754 of the 525 homes it was required to: 334%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.

What is on the brownfield register

25 live sites covering 45 hectares, of which 4 have no planning permission yet. 11 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.
