South Hams must plan for 929 homes a year
South Hams has to plan for 929 new homes a year, 4,645 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for South Hams. 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 South Hams has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, South Hams delivered 3,638 of the 4,191 homes it was required to: 87%. The government's published consequence: the council must publish an action plan.
What is on the brownfield register
13 live sites covering 18 hectares, of which 4 have no planning permission yet. 13 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.
