Brownfield Registers Identify Land For More Than 1 Million Homes

An analysis of Brownfield Land Registers confirms that there is enough space on brownfield land to build at least one million new homes, with more than two-thirds of these homes deliverable within the next five years.  Many of these sites are in areas with a high need for housing. This means that three of the next five years’ worth of Government housing targets could be met through building homes on brownfield land that has already been identified. The Campaign to Protect Rural England found that the 17,656 sites identified by local planning authorities, covering over 28,000 hectares of land, would provide enough land for a minimum of 1,052,124 homes.
