Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Solihull delivered 1,345 of the 2,516 homes it was required to: 53%. The government's published consequence: the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies.
What is on the brownfield register
91 live sites covering 147 hectares, of which 28 have no planning permission yet. 7 give no housing estimate, so the capacity above is a floor, not a total.
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.
