Delivery

Over the three years to March 2025, Adur delivered 526 of the 1,095 homes it was required to: 48%. The government's published consequence: the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies.

What is on the brownfield register

46 live sites covering 19 hectares, of which 8 have no planning permission yet. 1 give no housing estimate, so the capacity above is a floor, not a total.

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.
