Brownfield Land Register

Government requires local authorities to publish a Brownfield Land Register. Brownfield land is land which has previously been developed.

The Brownfield Land Register comprises two parts:

  • Part 1 contains a list of brownfield sites which are considered to be suitable housing.
  • Part 2 identifies brownfield sites that have been granted planning permission-in-principle for residential development.

The council does not have any brownfield sites to be included in Part 2. Applications for a brownfield site to be included in Part 2 of the register and thus benefit from permission-in-principle will be considered following the council having undertaken the necessary requirements to publicise, notify and consult, taking into account any representations received.

The register has been prepared in accordance with national guidelines regarding the range of site-specific information, and is produced in the required .csv (Excel) format.

Information regarding individual sites relates to suitability of the site for housing development, however, it will not provide precise details of ownership, the intention of the owners, land/building sale price or valuation, nor should it be viewed by developers/investors as a comprehensive, one-stop source of housing development sites.

The information is base-dated to April 2021.

The council does not act as an intermediary or agent.
