Brownfield Land Register
Local planning authorities are required to prepare and maintain a register of previously developed land, a Brownfield Land Register (BLR). The purpose of the brownfield land register is to provide up-to-date and consistent information in a standardised way across all local planning authorities in England, for appropriate brownfield sites that are considered suitable (subject to Local Plan policies and guidance), and available for housing-led development.
-
The brownfield land register is produced as csv file (Excel) and includes the relevant information as set out in the planning practice guidance: Brownfield land registers data standards.
