Over the three years to March 2025, Herefordshire delivered 2,326 of the 2,417 homes it was required to: 96%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.
What is on the brownfield register
67 live sites covering 40 hectares, of which 17 have no planning permission yet. 1 give no housing estimate, so the capacity above is a floor, not a total.
