The Town and Country Planning (Brownfield Land Register) Regulations 2017 require councils to produce a register of brownfield land. Registers are produced in two parts: the first sets out all the brownfield sites that are suitable, available and achievable for housing development (according to specific criteria). A second, non-mandatory, part can be produced which gives permission in principle to sites included on it. The government has prepared guidance for brownfield registers.
