The government wants to maximise the number of new homes built on brownfield (previously developed) land and has made a commitment to introduce local brownfield registers. The Wyre Council Brownfield Register (in a standard format set nationally) provides publicly available information on brownfield sites that are suitable for housing. The council has used its latest housing land monitoring exercise and the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment which included a 'Call for Sites' exercise to identify potential residential sites on brownfield land in Wyre.
The brownfield sites included on the register can also be viewed on an interactive map.
The identified sites are considered to be suitable, available, and potentially capable of supporting more than five dwellings.
This information was updated in January 2024.
Permission in Principle
Part 2 of the brownfield register consists of sites, which have been granted permission in principle.
The permission in principle consent route is an alternative way of obtaining planning permission for housing-led development. It has two stages:
- first stage (permission in principle application) – establishes whether a site is suitable in principle for housing-led development
- second stage (technical details consent) – assesses the detailed development proposals such as access, scale, layout, design and drainage
