RESOLVED - That:

• approved a 2018 update of the Brownfield Land Register (Part 1 only) for publication in or before December 2018;

Reasons for the decision:

Option 1 -

Other reasons / organisations consulted

Local authorities are not required to undertake consultation in relation to sites they propose to include only in Part 1 of the register.
