Stroud District Brownfield Land Register for Housing Development, 2022

Stroud District's register of previously developed land considered appropriate for residential housing, as mandated by UK planning regulations from 2017. The register is split into two parts: all suitable sites and those suitable for a grant of permission in principle. It is published by the Government Digital Service and designed to provide transparent, up-to-date information on available brownfield sites.

Use Cases

• Identify potential residential development sites based on the register of previously developed land.
• Analyze land suitability for housing projects based on the two-part classification (Part 1 and Part 2).
• Monitor local brownfield land availability over time, as the register is updated at least annually.

Strengths

• Data is structured according to a statutory UK regulation (The Town and Country Planning Regulations 2017).
• Register is required to be updated at least once a year, suggesting a commitment to maintenance.
• Includes a clear two-part classification for site suitability assessment.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
