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

South East

Wealden must plan for 1,465 homes a year

Wealden has to plan for 1,465 new homes a year, 7,325 over 5 years.

No brownfield cover figure for Wealden. Only 43% 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 Wealden has no brownfield land.

Delivery

Over the three years to March 2025, Wealden delivered 3,217 of the 3,598 homes it was required to: 89%. The government's published consequence: the council must publish an action plan.

What is on the brownfield register

40 live sites covering 29 hectares, of which 1 have no planning permission yet. 23 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.
