Brownfield register

The government require each local planning authority in England to prepare, maintain and publish a register of previously developed (brownfield) land suitable for housing. They consider that the purpose of the registers is to provide up-to-date and consistent information on sites that local authorities consider appropriate for residential development.

The council published its first brownfield land register in December 2017. The most recent register was published in November 2020 and identifies land with the potential to accommodate 20,693 net additional dwellings across the city. Note that the brownfield register is only a partial picture of potential sites for new housing; the housing and economic land availability assessment (HELAA) is much more comprehensive as it also includes dwellings on brownfield sites that are under construction, and dwellings on sites that are not completely brownfield in nature. The brownfield register does not include these sites given government guidance on the issue.

政府要求英格兰的每个地方规划当局准备、维护并公布一份先前开发（棕地）土地的登记册，这些土地适宜用于住宅建设。他们认为，登记册的目的是提供关于当地当局认为适宜进行住宅开发的土地的最新且一致的信息。市政委员会于2017年12月发布了其首个棕地土地登记册。最新的登记册于2020年11月发布，并确定了全市有潜力容纳20,693套净新增住宅的土地。请注意，棕地登记册仅是潜在新住宅用地的一部分图景；住房和经济土地可用性评估（HELAA）更为全面，因为它还包括正在建设中的棕地上的住宅，以及性质上并非完全为棕地的用地上的住宅。根据政府对该问题的指导，棕地登记册不包括这些用地。
