We were pleased to contribute to ‘Banking on Brownfield’, the latest research piece from Lichfields commissioned by the Land Promoters and Developers Federation.
It shows that even if every site on council brownfield registers was to be built out in full, brownfield land capacity only equates to just under a third (31%) of the 4.5 million new homes needed over the next 15 years.
This is contrary to the government’s Levelling Up White Paper, 2021 Conservative Party Conference speeches and the £1.5 billion Brownfield housing fund which have all suggested brownfield land as the solution to meeting the country’s housing needs.
