Cherwell must plan for 1,131 homes a year
Cherwell has to plan for 1,131 new homes a year, 5,655 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Cherwell. 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 Cherwell has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Cherwell delivered 2,890 of the 2,158 homes it was required to: 134%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.
What is on the brownfield register
132 live sites covering 617 hectares, of which 33 have no planning permission yet. 132 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.
