The Government has a requirement for local planning authorities to compile a Brownfield Register. This lists all the brownfield sites considered suitable for housing development. Through Brownfield Registers, a standard set of information will be kept up-to-date and made publicly available to help provide certainty for developers and communities and encourage investment in local areas.
Brownfield land is land that is or has been built on. The law requires us to compile and maintain a register of all brownfield land in Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire.
The register lists details of sites that we consider to be appropriate for future residential development. It allows potential developers to easily identify what land in the city is ready for development.
This data is released by Greater Cambridge Shared Planning Service covering the geographies of Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire
