West Berkshire must plan for 1,079 homes a year
West Berkshire has to plan for 1,079 new homes a year, 5,395 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for West Berkshire. Only 62% 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 West Berkshire has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, West Berkshire delivered 1,742 of the 1,523 homes it was required to: 114%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.
What is on the brownfield register
47 live sites covering 32 hectares, of which 3 have no planning permission yet. 18 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.
