Brownfield land register
Following legislation which came into force in April 2017, the Council is required to prepare, maintain and publish a register of previously developed (brownfield) land that meets the relevant criteria to be considered appropriate for residential development. There are two parts to the register:
- Part 1 includes land which has an area of at least 0.25 hectares or is capable of supporting at least 5 dwellings, and for which residential development is considered suitable, available and achievable.
- Part 2 includes land from Part 1 of the Register that has been though a publicity and consultation process and has subsequently been granted permission in principle.
We don’t currently have any sites in Part 2 of the Register. The Register is reviewed and updated annually.

- A site location plan with the site outlined in red.
- The current and previous uses of the land.
- The number of dwellings you consider the site would be able to accommodate.
