Warrington must plan for 1,073 homes a year
Warrington has to plan for 1,073 new homes a year, 5,365 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Warrington. Only 0% 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 Warrington has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Warrington delivered 2,735 of the 2,036 homes it was required to: 134%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.
What is on the brownfield register
162 live sites covering 227 hectares, of which 79 have no planning permission yet. 162 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.
