Council makes ‘Brown Before Green’ pledge to prioritise brownfield site development

CPRE Bucks is in huge support for the Council’s new policy pledge Brown Before Green. The pledge to use brownfield sites – land that has previously been built on – whenever possible when meeting the development needs that will be set out in the new Local Plan.

 

We can all support this! Simply by sharing the news and keeping your eyes peeled.

The Council is asking Buckinghamshire residents, businesses and landowners to get in touch and provide details of any previously developed sites that might be suitable for redevelopment. Any spots found with our help will be added to the county’s existing list of possible sites.  Together we can ensure that as many brownfield sites as possible are found and used efficiently.

Disused factory premises, abandoned houses and old unused car parks are just a few examples of so many spaces that could be suitable for brownfield redevelopment. Do you know of a spot close to you, submit it below. All the guidelines for submission are included on the link below.

Help save our precious untouched green spaces for as long as possible!
