Brownfield Land Register

How we prepare, maintain and publish a register of brownfield sites that may be suitable for future residential development

Brownfield Land Registers are intended to provide up-to-date information on sites that Local Authorities consider to be appropriate for residential development.

What are the criteria?

The register can consist of two parts:

Part 1 is a list of all Brownfield sites considered to be appropriate for residential development

Part 2 is made up of sites which have been taken forward from Part 1 of the register and given Planning Permission in Principle (PIP)

In order for sites to be included in Part 1 of the Register, i.e. appropriate for residential development, they must meet the following criteria:

•    the site must be classified as Previously Developed Land, as defined by the glossary to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)
•    the site should be at least 0.25 hectares in size or capable of supporting at least 5 dwellings
•    the land is suitable for residential development
•    the land is available for residential development
•    residential development of the land is achievable within 15 years

Publication of the Brownfield register

The Council will update and monitor the register annually.

The Community Infrastructure Levy (Amendment) (England) (No.2) Regulations 2019 which came into force on 1 September 2019 require that all local planning authorities publish an Infrastructure Funding Statement annually. The Infrastructure Funding Statement provides a breakdown of Section 106 income and expenditure. It also sets out the types of infrastructure and projects we intend to support through Section 106 income over the next reporting period.
