use of land by re-using brownfield land provided that it is not of
high environmental value;
• Local councils can set locally appropriate targets for using
brownfield land
Planning practice guidance
• Stresses the importance of the planning process in helping to
bring brownfield land into use
The objective for implementation
• To see local development orders granting planning permissions
for homes in place on over 90% of suitable brownfield land by
2020 (June 2014)
3. Government action to support
implementation
Package of measures announced in June 2014 to support
development of brownfield land for housing:
Funding and guidance to support preparation of local
development orders

4. Support for preparing local
development orders

Teignbridge and North East Lincolnshire – who are piloting
local development orders for smaller housing sites

support wider use of local development orders on smaller sites

• Identifying suitable brownfield land, sharing information and
monitoring progress
• Measures to underpin delivery of local development orders

7. Building more homes on
brownfield land – Consultation
How do ensure data is up to date?
We need to ensure that data on brownfield is robust. Do not want
to impose a top-down approach and would like a system led by
local authorities
We want a system that:
• Is easily accessible to developers, members of the public, other
authorities and central Government
• Is easy for the robustness of the data to be tested
• Makes the most of modern technology
• Places the least burden on local authorities
Welcome views on how this might be achieved in the responses to
the consultation.

Proposals for data collection and availability
Defining suitable brownfield land: using the NPPF definition and
which meets specific criteria:
• Deliverable
• Free of constraint
• Capable of development
• Capable of supporting 5 or more dwellings
Building on existing data collection processes for local plans and
SHLAAs the proposal is that data is updated at least once a year
and published to an agreed common standard

9. Building more homes on brownfield
land – Consultation
Measures proposed to encourage progress:
• Extending measures similar to the current designation process
to apply where authorities do not make sufficient progress in
getting LDOs in place on 90% of suitable brownfield land by
2020 (with an intermediate objective in 2017)
• Policy based incentive: amend the National Planning Policy
Framework so that authorities that have not made sufficient
progress against the brownfield objective would be unable to
claim the existence of an up to date five year housing land
supply when considering applications for brownfield
development - presumption in favour of sustainable
development would apply (with intermediate objectives)
