The Register consists of two parts:
- part 1 is a list of all 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)
The Council is required to update its Brownfield Land Register at least once a year.
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
Detailed guidance on brownfield land registers was published on 28 July 2017 through National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG). The format of the brownfield land register is set out in the Brownfield Land Registers Data Standard published by the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government (MHCLG).
The Brownfield Land Register Update for 2022 is set out below.
