Wiltshire must plan for 3,463 homes a year
Wiltshire has to plan for 3,463 new homes a year, 17,315 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Wiltshire. Only 70% 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 Wiltshire has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Wiltshire delivered 5,467 of the 5,910 homes it was required to: 93%. The government's published consequence: the council must publish an action plan.
What is on the brownfield register
160 live sites covering 196 hectares, of which 35 have no planning permission yet. 48 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.
