42 Report of the Head of Planning and Development - Brownfield Land Register Update pdf icon PDF 73 KB

Minutes:

The Planning Officer – Spatial Policy provided an update to the Committee on the Brownfield Land Register.

 

The Committee noted that the Brownfield Land Register was in two parts. Part 1 was a comprehensive list of all brownfield sites in a Local Authority area and that the Local Authority considered suitable for housing irrespective of their planning status. Part 2 of the Brownfield Land Register had the potential to add additional sites to the 5 and 20 year Housing Land Supply and would include only those sites for which Permission in Principle had been granted.

 

The Committee raised concerns about the significant loss of control and income for the Council, in return for the benefit of the Brownfield sites being included in the 5 and 20 year Housing Land Supply.

 

RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
