Definition of Brownfield Land

‘Brownfield' (previously developed land) land is defined in Annex 2 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2023) 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 was last occupied by agricultural or forestry buildings; land that has been developed for minerals extraction or waste disposal by landfill, where provision for restoration has been made through development management procedures; land in built-up areas such as residential gardens, parks, recreation grounds and allotments; and land that was previously developed but where the remains of the permanent structure or fixed surface structure have blended into the landscape”

The Oadby & Wigston Brownfield Land Register aims to provide publicly available information on known previously developed sites which meet the criteria set out in relevant legislation and guidance. The Register contains sites identified and collated from the existing data sources of the most recent Oadby & Wigston Borough Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA) and Residential Land Availability Assessment (RLA).

Please note, the council does not include sites that are under construction. The council will review and update the Register each year, once the latest monitoring documents have been published.

How to submit or amend site details

To submit a site for consideration on the Brownfield Land Register, you will need to provide a map, outline plan of the site or aerial photograph clearly showing the site’s boundaries. These details should be sent to planningpolicy@oadby-wigston.gov.uk. This will ensure that a thorough assessment can be provided as to both site suitability and availability for development.

If you would like to provide us with an update on a site already included in the register or if the boundary has changed, please provide an up-to-date map and a brief explanation of any amendments as relevant. If the site is no longer available, please let us know so that we can remove it from the Register.

Registers of Brownfield Land are public documents and therefore details submitted for inclusion in it can be treated as public information.
