Cheltenham Brownfield Register for Potential Housing Development

Local planning authorities are required by the UK government to produce a 'Brownfield Land Register' of previously developed land for potential housing use. This dataset provides the register for Cheltenham Borough Council, which is reviewed annually. The data is published under the OGL-UK-3.0 license.

Strengths

• Data is produced under a UK government mandate, suggesting a formal collection process.
