Sheffield must plan for 2,451 homes a year
Sheffield has to plan for 2,451 new homes a year, 12,255 over 5 years.
No brownfield cover figure for Sheffield. Only 0% 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 Sheffield has no brownfield land.
Delivery
Over the three years to March 2025, Sheffield delivered 5,313 of the 9,092 homes it was required to: 58%. The government's published consequence: the presumption in favour of sustainable development applies.
What is on the brownfield register
666 live sites covering 370 hectares, of which 145 have no planning permission yet. 666 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.
