The Town and Country Planning (Brownfield Land Register) Regulations 2017 require each local planning authority responsible for determining applications for housing development to prepare, maintain and publish a register of previously developed land in their area which they consider appropriate for residential development.
The Register comprises two parts:
Part 1 – all brownfield sites, at least 0.25ha in area or capable of supporting at least 5 dwellings, that a local planning authority has assessed as appropriate for residential development. Part 2 – only those sites included in Part 1 that the local planning authority has decided would be suitable for a grant of permission in principle for residential development. The Register is designed to provide transparent, up-to-date and consistent information about suitable and available brownfield sites in the local area assessed as appropriate for housing and is updated at least once a year.
The Register is published at https://www.stroud.gov.uk/brownfield-land
