Stafford must plan for 760 homes a year
Stafford has to plan for 760 new homes a year, 3,800 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Stafford. Only 68% 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 Stafford has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Stafford delivered 1,666 of the 1,120 homes it was required to: 149%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.
What is on the brownfield register
31 live sites covering 49 hectares, of which 0 have no planning permission yet. 10 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.
