Doncaster must plan for 1,257 homes a year
Doncaster has to plan for 1,257 new homes a year, 6,285 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Doncaster. Only 6% 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 Doncaster has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Doncaster delivered 3,445 of the 1,619 homes it was required to: 213%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.
What is on the brownfield register
230 live sites covering 768 hectares, of which 94 have no planning permission yet. 217 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.
