Newcastle-under-Lyme must plan for 559 homes a year
Newcastle-under-Lyme has to plan for 559 new homes a year, 2,795 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Newcastle-under-Lyme. 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 Newcastle-under-Lyme has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Newcastle-under-Lyme delivered 974 of the 1,035 homes it was required to: 94%. The government's published consequence: the council must publish an action plan.
What is on the brownfield register

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.
