Building in a small island? Why we still need the brownfield first approach

Research by lobby group the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) challenges government claims, set out in the impact assessment for the draft National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), that there is a shortage of brownfield land suitable for housing development. The research claims that there is enough brownfield land available and suitable for residential development for 1.5 million new homes. This is equivalent to around six years’ supply at the building rates the government claims we need, CPRE argues. The research also concludes that the supply of brownfield land is growing at a faster rate than it is being used up, with only three out of every five suitable plots being used for housing between 2000 and 2009.
