South Staffordshire must plan for 648 homes a year
South Staffordshire has to plan for 648 new homes a year, 3,240 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for South Staffordshire. Only 64% 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 Staffordshire has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, South Staffordshire delivered 1,201 of the 701 homes it was required to: 171%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.
What is on the brownfield register
61 live sites covering 54 hectares, of which 5 have no planning permission yet. 22 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.
