The government has published the following Working Paper, which "invites views" relating to brownfield land:
Consultation document:
Notes:
- The "Summary" at the start of the above document includes the following information:
- "This paper invites views on further action that we could take through the planning system to support the development of brownfield land in urban areas. It proposes options for a form of ‘brownfield passport’, which would be more specific about the development that should be regarded as acceptable, with the default answer to suitable proposals being a straightforward “yes”."
- "The proposals relate to the principle, the scale, and the form of development, and to the potential wider use of Local Development Orders to grant area-wide permissions – all in a way that retains appropriate local oversight. A series of questions are posed at the end of the paper, to inform discussions with the sector before determining whether any of these proposals are taken forward.". - Note: The above document does not appear to state how views should be submitted (e.g. via email, online form, etc), and does not appear to state a deadline for views to be submitted.
