All local planning authorities have now published a local register of brownfield land suitable for housing, bringing many more sites to the attention of house-builders, self-builders and investors.
The information published by local planning authorities suggests that across England as a whole there are over 18,000 sites and over 26,000 hectares of land suitable for development, with capacity for one million homes.
