On every site

The council's housing position
The Housing Delivery Test result, the age of the local plan, and homes added a year against the number the council needs.
Constraints, measured on the site
The share of the site in the green belt, each flood zone, a conservation area and the other mapped constraints, each from its named source.
Planning on and around it
Ten years of planning applications on the parcel, and homes approved nearby in the last five years.

Why these rules

National parks and the Broads are left out: national policy refuses major development there other than in exceptional circumstances and limits the scale of the rest (NPPF, August 2026, N4); set National park to Any under Constraints to include them. Car parks, yards and hard standing are left out, and land more than 250 m from a town or village. Woodland is left out.
