The Town and Country Planning (Brownfield Land
Register) Regulations came into force in April 2017 and require
each local planning authority to prepare and maintain a Brownfield
Land Register. The Regulations require the register to be updated
at least annually. This report now seeks approval for the 2020
update.
The purpose of the register is to provide up-to-date and consistent
information on brownfield land that the local authority considers
to be appropriate for residential development. The register
comprises of two parts: Part 1 includes all brownfield sites
considered suitable for residential development and Part 2 is for
sites which have been granted (planning) permission in
principle.
This report explains the process of preparing the Brownfield
Register and sets out the implications for Oldham. As was the case
in 2018, it is recommended that no sites are proposed for
permission in principle. Therefore, the Brownfield Register which
is being sought for approval only includes Part 1 sites.
