Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Date of Decision: December 13, 2024

Purpose: The Brownfield Land Register Regulations 2017 require local planning authorities to publish and maintain a register of land within their area which meets certain criteria in terms of its status as Brownfield Land, and in terms of its potential to provide housing-led development in future years. The Regulations require that this Register is reviewed at least annually. The decision proposed is to publish the update for 2024. The proposed update concerns 'Part 1' of the Brownfield Land Register, which is the basic legally required Register. Councils have the ability to identify sites as being within 'Part 2' of the Register, thereby granting them 'permission in principle', a form of planning consent. There is no 'Part 2' of the Crawley Register. The proposed update to the Register takes account of updates in respect of the planning status of various sites since the last update, and includes the addition of new sites where these have been granted planning permission (or prior approval).

Content: Approve the publication of the Brownfield Register Part 1 update. The decision has been taken in accordance with the delegation to the Head of Economy and Planning to make 'factual changes and minor amendments' to Part 1 of the Brownfield Land Register.
