Borough Plan Monitoring
Brownfield Land Register
Regulation 3 of the Town and Country Planning (Brownfield Land Register) Regulations 2017 requires local planning authorities in England to prepare, maintain and publish registers of previously developed (brownfield) land. Brownfield sites that meet the relevant criteria must be entered in Part 1 of brownfield land registers. Sites entered in Part 2 of the brownfield land registers are granted permission in principle. Regulation 17 requires local planning authorities to review their registers at least once a year.
Previously developed land has the same meaning as land of that description in Annex 2 of the National Planning Policy Framework. Previously developed land is referred to as brownfield land.
Brownfield land registers will provide up-to-date and consistent information on sites that local authorities consider to be appropriate for residential development having regard to the criteria set out in regulation 4 of the Town and Country Planning (Brownfield Land Register) Regulations 2017. Local planning authorities will be able to trigger a grant of permission in principle for residential development for sites in their registers where they follow the required procedures. Registers will be in two parts, Part 1 will comprise all brownfield sites appropriate for residential development and Part 2 those sites granted permission in principle. The Council has not, at the present time, proposed granting permission in rinciple for any sites included on the brownfield land register.
The latest version of the Council's Brownfield Land Register is now available.
Please note that inclusion on the register does not provide planning permission which can be gained through submitting a planning application. Whilst every effort has been taken to ensure the accuracy of information here, if an error has been made please do not hesitate to contact Planning Policy using the contact details provided on this page.
Authority Monitoring Reports
Section 113 of the Localism Act 2011 requires local planning authorities to produce an annual Authority Monitoring Report (previously called Annual Monitoring Reports) (AMRs) to monitor their performance against the requirements of their adopted Local Plan (in the case of Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council this is the Borough Plan Review (2021-2039)).
The AMR reviews the effectiveness of the Council's local planning policies and helps the Council ensure that progress is being made towards achieving the objectives set out in the Borough Plan Review (2021-2039).
The latest Authority Monitoring Report for 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024 is now available.
Five Year Land Supply
The National Planning Policy Framework requires local planning authorities to identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable housing sites sufficient to provide a minimum of five years' worth of housing against their housing requirement set out in adopted strategic policies.
The five year supply position was considered by the Inspectors as part of the Borough Plan Review Examination in Public. The Inspectors concluded the Council could demonstrate a five year supply and the supporting Housing Trajectory is now available.
