Action Taken Under Delegated Authority (Significant Operational Decision): Brownfield Land Register Part 1 - 2022 Update

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 update for 2022 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 update to the Register takes account of changes to 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).

 

On 22 December 2022 the Head of Economy and Planning approved the publication of the Brownfield Land Register Part 1 2022 update.  This decision has been taken in accordance with the delegation to the Head of Economy and Planning Services to make 'factual updates and minor amendments' to Part 1 of the Brownfield Land Register.
