The Town and Country Planning (Brownfield Land Register) Regulations 2017 came into force on 16 April 2017 and require Councils to prepare, maintain and publish registers of previously developed (brownfield) land they consider to be appropriate for housing development by 31 December 2017. The regulations set out the criteria with regard to suitability, availability and achievability that sites have to comply with, in the opinion of the local planning authority, in order to be included in the register. They also set a site size threshold for inclusion of 0.25 hectares or being capable of supporting at least 5 dwellings.
