The Town and Country Planning (Brownfield Land
Register) Regulations 2017 require each local planning authority in
England to prepare, maintain and publish a register of previously
developed (brownfield) land suitable for housing. The government
considers the purpose of the register is to provide up-to-date and
consistent information on sites that local authorities consider
appropriate for residential development. To accompany the
legislation, they published guidance on preparing and publishing
brownfield land registers and a data standard on 28 July
2017.
Local authorities are required to update the information relating
to each entry and review the sites on their registers at least once
a year and are encouraged to conduct more frequent updates of the
register where they wish to so do.
The selection of sites to include in the register has been informed
by ongoing housing land monitoring and is a sub-set of the sites
identified in the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment
(SHLAA), as at 1 April 2020.
This document provides an update to the Brownfield Register 2020,
published in December 2020.
