New research by the Campaign to Protect Rural England
(CPRE) shows that suitable brownfield sites across England can provide at least
1.1 million new homes. The Government had described a previous CPRE estimate of
around 1 million homes as ‘wildly over optimistic’. Now, using the Government’s
own pilot brownfield register scheme, CPRE has calculated that suitable
brownfield sites can provide between 1.1 and 1.4 million new homes. CPRE
studied the findings of 53 councils that have published their data on suitable
sites, and found that these areas alone could provide 273,000 homes. Comparing
this new data with the last available data from 2010-2012, CPRE noted an 11%
increase in the number of homes that could be provided on suitable sites. Read
