Test Valley must plan for 928 homes a year
Test Valley has to plan for 928 new homes a year, 4,640 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Test Valley. 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 Test Valley has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Test Valley delivered 1,041 of the 1,627 homes it was required to: 64%. The government's published consequence: the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies.
What is on the brownfield register
17 live sites covering 22 hectares, of which 10 have no planning permission yet. 17 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.
