Defining brownfield land suitable for new housing
13.‘Brownfield' (previously developed) land is defined in Annex 2 of the National
Planning Policy Framework as:
Land which is or was occupied by a permanent structure, including the curtilage of
the developed land (although it should not be assumed that the whole of the
curtilage should be developed) and any associated fixed surface infrastructure. This
excludes:
• land that is or has been occupied by agricultural or forestry buildings;
• land that has been developed for minerals extraction or waste disposal by landfill
purposes where provision for restoration has been made through development
control procedures;
• land in built-up areas such as private residential gardens, parks, recreation
grounds and allotments; and
• land that was previously-developed, but where the remains of the permanent
structure have blended into the landscape in the process of time.
