Brownfield land register

Register of brownfield land suitable for residential development, updated December 2024

A brownfield land register identifies previously-developed sites considered to be appropriate for residential development. It is not a complete list of all brownfield land in the district.

To be on the register sites must meet specific criteria set out in the Town and Country Planning (Brownfield Land Register) Regulations 2017:

  • a site area of at least 0.25 hectares or capable of supporting at least 5 dwellings
  • is suitable for residential development
  • is available for residential development
  • residential development of the land is achievable within 15 years of entry onto the register

The register is in a national standard format to enable consistency between local planning authorities.

You can also view the sites on our online mapping page: go to MyMaps tab and select Brownfield Land Register layer. The mapping will be updated to show the December 2024 update.

Submitting a site for the register

We update the brownfield land register at least once a year.

To submit a site for consideration, please contact us at planningpolicy@hart.gov.uk or call 01252 774419.

You will need to send us:

  • a plan showing the site's boundaries
  • information about the site, including its current use
  • why you think it meets the brownfield land criteria for inclusion

You can submit sites for consideration at any time. They will be considered when we next update the register.

The brownfield land register is a public document. Therefore, the details of any sites included are treated as public information. Personal data will not be published.
