Bath and North East Somerset must plan for 1,518 homes a year
Bath and North East Somerset has to plan for 1,518 new homes a year, 7,590 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Bath and North East Somerset. 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 Bath and North East Somerset has no brownfield land.
