Southampton must plan for 1,212 homes a year
Southampton has to plan for 1,212 new homes a year, 6,060 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Southampton. 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 Southampton has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Southampton delivered 1,342 of the 4,440 homes it was required to: 30%. The government's published consequence: the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies.
What is on the brownfield register
36 live sites covering 71 hectares, of which 25 have no planning permission yet. 36 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.
