Brownfield Land Sites Call Out

As part of our search for suitable sites for development, particularly for sites to help meet our housing need, we are carrying out a search for brownfield sites that may be suitable. 

We are looking for brownfield sites that are available and could accommodate 5 or more dwellings or residential units. Brownfield land means land which has previously been developed. The government's definition is:

Land which has been lawfully developed and is or was occupied by a permanent structure and any fixed surface infrastructure associated with it, including the curtilage of the developed land (although it should not be assumed that the whole of the curtilage should be developed). It also includes land comprising large areas of fixed surface infrastructure such as large areas of hardstanding which have been lawfully developed.

Previously developed land excludes:

•  land that is or was last occupied by agricultural or forestry buildings; 
• land that has been developed for minerals extraction or waste disposal by landfill, where provision for restoration has been made through development management procedures; 
• land in built-up areas such as residential gardens, parks, recreation grounds and allotments; and
•  land that was previously developed but where the remains of the permanent structure or fixed surface structure have blended into the landscape. 

We have already allocated brownfield sites in the current Local Plan, which identifies land to meet development needs, and more brownfield sites have been submitted to us already for potential allocation in the next Local Plan.

We have also undertaken a search for brownfield land. However, there may be other brownfield sites that we are not aware of, and we would like your help in finding these sites.

Please do not add any personal information to your suggestions, as this will be visible to everyone.
