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

South East

Spelthorne must plan for 795 homes a year

Spelthorne has to plan for 795 new homes a year, 3,975 over 5 years.

No brownfield cover figure for Spelthorne. 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 Spelthorne has no brownfield land.

Delivery

Over the three years to March 2025, Spelthorne delivered 622 of the 1,874 homes it was required to: 33%. The government's published consequence: the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies.

What is on the brownfield register

59 live sites covering 23 hectares, of which 21 have no planning permission yet. 59 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.
