The Town and Country Planning (Brownfield Land Register) Regulations 2017 sets a requirement for all Local Planning Authorities to establish a Brownfield Land Register. As set out in the legislation, part one of the register is a compulsory requirement and is a list of brownfield sites that the local planning authority have assessed as appropriate for residential development. The Council published this list in December 2017 in line with legislation. Part 2 of the register is not obligatory, however enables the local planning authority to grant 'Permission in Principle' where relevant procedures are followed.
Part 1 of the Brownfield Land Register was published on the Council's website in December 2017. The Council will review and update the register on an annual basis, however it has discretion to update the register at any time if appropriate for the purposes of adding, amending or removing sites.
