Elmbridge must plan for 1,586 homes a year
Elmbridge has to plan for 1,586 new homes a year, 7,930 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Elmbridge. Only 28% 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 Elmbridge has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Elmbridge delivered 1,158 of the 1,950 homes it was required to: 59%. The government's published consequence: the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies.
What is on the brownfield register
205 live sites covering 105 hectares, of which 98 have no planning permission yet. 148 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.
