Brownfield Land register

Brownfield Land Register

The Government is committed to maximising the number of new homes built on suitable brownfield land. The Town and Country Planning (Brownfield Land Register (BLR)) Regulations 2017 makes provision for local planning authorities to prepare, maintain and publish registers of brownfield land. The register should identify previously developed sites which have been assessed as being suitable for housing use.

The Brownfield Land Register comprises a set of information in a format prescribed by Government that will be kept up-to-date and made publicly available. The purpose of the BLR is to provide certainty for developers and communities and encourage investment in local areas.

The Brownfield Land Register is published under the Open Government Licence and is available in csv format. The BLR comprises:

  • Brownfield sites that have been granted permission but construction/conversion has not yet started
  • Brownfield sites that are allocated for residential development in the Adopted Local Plan (2016-2036)
  • HELAA sites that have been assessed as being deliverable and developable against the criteria in the National Planning Policy Framework
  • Other suitable brownfield sites which have been submitted for the BLR and meet the criteria

Where someone applies for any sort of permission themselves and it is granted, this is noted against the site entry in part 1. Where no application is made, and officers consider that the site should have a Permission In Principle (PIP), the site will be entered onto part 2 of the BLR following consultation as required by the legislation (The Town and Country Planning (Permission in Principle [PIP]) Order 2017 (legislation.gov.uk). This route gives a five year PIP approval rather than three years.

The BLR was last updated in September 2023. There are no sites on the Part 2 register. A total of 56 sites are included on the register. This includes 2 sites end dated in 2020, 6 sites end dated in 2021, a further 5 sites end dated in 2022 and another 2 sites ended in 2023. Of the 56 sites on the BLR, there are 35 valid (not end dated) sites. This includes a new site added in 2022 at BHS/43 in the centre of Kidderminster. Details of those sites allocated in the newly adopted Local Plan (26 April 2022) have also been updated. Once actual construction/conversion work starts on sites they are end dated.

Sites which have been end dated since 2020.
