BDC Brownfield Register 2025

The Government requires each local planning authority to maintain a register of previously developed (brownfield) land that is considered to be appropriate for housing. The Council’s current Brownfield Land Register (October 2025 update) identifies a total of 23 brownfield sites, which comprise approximately 95ha of housing land and could accommodate up to 1,866 dwellings. Site size ranges from 0.02 ha to 36.5 ha and include the former Biwaters site and part of the Avenue site.

Conservation areas are those parts of the district which have been recognised as having a special architectural or historic interest which is worthy of preservation and enhancement. When considering planning applications for developments within them, a duty is placed on the local planning authority to pay special attention to the desirability of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of the conservation area.

A Tree Preservation Order is an order made by a local planning authority in England to protect specific trees, groups of trees or woodlands in the interests of amenity. An Order prohibits the cutting down, topping, lopping, uprooting, wilful damage or wilful destruction of trees without the local planning authority’s written consent. If consent is given, it can be subject to conditions which have to be followed. In the Secretary of State’s view, cutting roots is also a prohibited activity and requires the authority’s consent.

The land register is the legal basis for property registration in Denmark. It provides a central database of common basic property data, which is essential for efficient property management.
