Open the search- A council brownfield register site on it
On every site
- The council's housing position
- The Housing Delivery Test result, the age of the local plan, and homes added a year against the number the council needs.
- Constraints, measured on the site
- The share of the site in the green belt, each flood zone, a conservation area and the other mapped constraints, each from its named source.
- Planning on and around it
- Ten years of planning applications on the parcel, and homes approved nearby in the last five years.
Why these rules
Council brownfield land registers (planning.data.gov.uk): land of at least 0.25 ha or room for 5 homes that the council judges suitable, available and achievable for housing; a site in Part 2 has permission in principle (Town and Country Planning (Brownfield Land Register) Regulations 2017, regulations 4 and 5).
