Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Tamworth delivered 861 of the 391 homes it was required to: 220%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.
What is on the brownfield register
38 live sites covering 168 hectares, of which 36 have no planning permission yet. 1 give no housing estimate, so the capacity above is a floor, not a total.
