Call for Brownfield Sites

During the local plan consultation, held between 22 January and 8 March 2024, respondents suggested that every opportunity should be taken to identify brownfield land for development. 

We therefore asked residents to let us know of any brownfield land that is suitable and available for development. The call for sites was open from 7 May to 7 June 2024. 

As well as brownfield sites, we asked for suggestions for land for Traveller and Travelling Showpeople accommodation and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG).
