British cities could meet nearly three quarters of their
10-year housing demand with existing vacant brownfield land sites in their
boundaries according to new data. Research by PLATFORM_, a developer and
operator of private rented housing, says brownfield land could accommodate
367,711 homes across 6,131 sites in 24 of the largest urban areas in England,
Scotland and Wales.
It then cross referenced that with 10-year local housing
need for each city and found that brownfield land could accommodate 70.7% of
that demand on average. The sites identified are all vacant or have been
earmarked for housing delivery. However if they were all built for sale they
could take decades to deliver. Read more on 24housing.
