Summary

The Council published its most recent brownfield land register in December 2024. It identifies brownfield sites with the potential to accommodate around 7,260 new homes across the borough. The register is updated annually. Registers are in two parts. This register forms Part 1, which includes all brownfield sites in the borough deemed appropriate for housing. Part 2 allows Councils to grant Permission in Principle. The Council has not started work on Part 2 of its register at the current time. The Part 1 register does not allocate land or assume that planning permission will be granted for housing or any other form of development. More information on brownfield registers is available in national planning practice guidance.
