North Yorkshire must plan for 4,173 homes a year
North Yorkshire has to plan for 4,173 new homes a year, 20,865 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for North Yorkshire. Only 48% 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 North Yorkshire has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, North Yorkshire delivered 9,106 of the 4,171 homes it was required to: 218%. The government's published consequence: no consequence.
What is on the brownfield register
287 live sites covering 420 hectares, of which 118 have no planning permission yet. 149 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.
