Decision details

Cabinet will be asked to approve the list of Brownfield sites to be published as part 1 of the Council’s Brownfield Register.

There is a statutory requirement for local authorities to have a Brownfield Register in place by 31 December 2017. This should contain a list of Brownfield (previously developed) sites which are suitable for housing, to be published as part 1 of the register. It is optional for local authorities to also include a part 2 of the register, in which sites are listed which will be given permission in principle. It is not proposed to include any sites in part 2 of the register (at this stage).

Cabinet:

1.         Agreed to the draft list of sites (located in Appendix 1of the report) to be published as the London Borough of Havering Part 1 Brownfield Land Register;

2.         Agreed to publish the London Borough of Havering Part 1 Brownfield Land Register on the Council website, and to publish the London Borough of Havering Part 1 Brownfield Land Register on a London-wide website hosted by the Greater London Authority; and

3.         Delegated authority to the Assistant Director of Development in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Housing to sign off, review and maintain the London Borough of Havering Part 1 Brownfield Land Register.

4.         Noted a correction to Appendix 1 of the report. The figure included in the report for the minimum net dwellings for Napier and New Plymouth was 103, 200 (gross). That figure is incorrect and is replaced with 103 (200 gross)
