Bradford must plan for 1,870 homes a year
Bradford has to plan for 1,870 new homes a year, 9,350 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Bradford. Only 56% 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 Bradford has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Bradford delivered 3,773 of the 6,773 homes it was required to: 56%. The government's published consequence: the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies.
What is on the brownfield register
380 live sites covering 298 hectares, of which 201 have no planning permission yet. 168 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.
