South East

Folkestone and Hythe must plan for 819 homes a year

Folkestone and Hythe has to plan for 819 new homes a year, 4,095 over 5 years.

No brownfield cover figure for Folkestone and Hythe. This council's brownfield register is not in the national dataset, so its brownfield capacity is unknown.

That is a gap in the register, not evidence that Folkestone and Hythe has no brownfield land.

Delivery

Over the three years to March 2025, Folkestone and Hythe delivered 1,120 of the 1,979 homes it was required to: 57%. The government's published consequence: the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies.
