The Council is required by Government to produce a Brownfield Land Register. The purpose of the register is to identify suitable brownfield sites that are available for housing development or housing led mixed use development. It will also help to provide publicly available information on suitable brownfield sites.
Brownfield land is previously developed land, normally in the urban area, although occasionally previously developed land can be found in the countryside.
The Brownfield Land Register comprises two parts.
Part 1 identifies suitable brownfield sites for housing for 5 or more dwellings. Inclusion on this list does not necessarily mean that the site would be granted planning permission.
Part 2 is a list of sites that have been granted planning permission in principle. The Council does not have any sites on the Part 2 Brownfield Land Register. When there are sites to be included on Part 2 of the register to grant permission in principle, appropriate local consultation will take place.
The Council have produced a list of sites for Part 1 of the Brownfield Land Register. Most either have an existing planning permission or are parts of Local Plan allocations. It is the intention to review the register at least annually and to add to, and expand the list on Part 1 of the Brownfield Land Register in the future.
This data is provided under the Open Government Licence.
