How much land each council still has to find for new homes

South East

Runnymede must plan for 640 homes a year

Runnymede has to plan for 640 new homes a year, 3,200 over 5 years.

No brownfield cover figure for Runnymede. Only 78% 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 Runnymede has no brownfield land.

Delivery

Over the three years to March 2025, Runnymede delivered 1,425 of the 1,516 homes it was required to: 94%. The government's published consequence: the council must publish an action plan.

What is on the brownfield register

200 live sites covering 239 hectares, of which 85 have no planning permission yet. 45 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.
