New housing in Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council
We don't read Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council's planning register yet, so reports on fields here rely on national data: Green Belt, flood zones, protected land, farmland quality and how close a field is to a town or village.
It delivered 56% of the homes it needed in the 2025 Housing Delivery Test, below the 75% at which national policy treats it as having an unmet need for housing.
