Keynsham shares a HM Land Registry reporting district with neighbouring towns, and the source data does not distinguish Keynsham-specific sales from the wider district. The figures above reflect the whole shared district rather than Keynsham alone.

Bath & North East Somerset, the local planning authority covering Keynsham, approved 31 residential planning applications and refused 9 in Q3 2026 (1 July to 30 September 2026), with 106 still awaiting a decision. That is an approval rate of 78%. Planning figures come from local planning authority records compiled by Landstack, retrieved on 3 October 2026. Councils and Landstack can take several days to publish decisions, so decisions made in the final days of Q3 2026 may not all be included yet.

Schemes approved in Q3 2026, together with those still awaiting a decision, propose around 1,367 homes, an estimated £524.2m of development value at local sale prices. Treat the unit total as an upper bound, since an outline permission and its reserved-matters application both count.
