Brownfield Land Register 2026
The Council is required by Government to produce a Brownfield Land Register. The purpose of the register is to identify suitable brownfield sites that are available for housing development or housing led mixed use development.

Brownfield land is previously developed land, normally in the urban area, although occasionally previously developed land can be found in the countryside.
