Following proposals from both Labour and Conservative
parties to deliver housing on UK brownfield land, RICS has published research
suggesting there is enough brownfield land available in England to build
226,000 houses by 2019. The report Making
More Brownfield Land Available for Housing uses Nottingham as a
representative case study of major cities in England outside of London. Through
a detailed analysis of 30 brownfield sites, it reveals six constraints which
impact upon housing development and delivery. The six recommendations
1.
Make pre-planning application meetings
obligatory
2.
Allocate adequate resource for the Town and
Country Planning System
3.
Create Developer packs for Large and/or Sensitive
Development Sites
4.
Restrict the use of S106
5.
Streamline the bid application process
6.
Make the process of match funding easier
