Brownfield Land Register

The Council is required by government to produce a Brownfield Land Register. The purpose of the Register is to identify brownfield (i.e. previously developed) sites that are suitable for housing or housing-led mixed use development. Inclusion of a site on the Brownfield Land Register that does not have planning permission does not infer that planning permission will be forthcoming.

The Brownfield Land Register is in two parts:

Part 1: identifies suitable brownfield sites that can deliver five dwellings or more. Inclusion on this list does not necessarily mean that the site would be granted planning permission.

Part 2: is a list of sites that have been granted Permission in Principle (PiP). PiP establishes whether a site is suitable in principle for residential development.  

There are currently no sites on Part 2 of the West Lancs Brownfield Land Register.  If and when any sites are to be included on Part 2 of the Register, we will consult appropriately.
