Research
These are the questions we answer during the Research stage.
Answering them wil help us learn more about the Previously developed land consideration, determine if a data standard is required and whether we know enough to move on to the next stage.
-
Do we understand the lifecycle of a Previously developed land?
-
Do we understand how the data is created/produced?
-
Where will or should the data be used?
-
What other planning considerations does it interact with?
Local plan, site allocated, brownfield site register, decision making
-
Who are the statutory consultees for Previously developed land?
-
Other than the statutory consultees who are the primary users of Previously developed land? How do we expect them to use Previously developed land?
-
What are the planning needs for this data?
The planning need comes from the NPPFs require for LPAs to consider PDL for development over other land designations - such as green or grey belt land, when considering sites suitable for development
-
Who are the types of users who might benefit from having access to Previously developed land data?
-
What are some potential uses of Previously developed land data?
Identifying sites suitable for development.
-
What's the value of adding Previously developed land data to the platform?
There is high value for getting this on the platform to understand where these sites are and which sites would be suitable for development. The NPPF prioritises PDL over other land designations for development.
-
From what we have learnt so far are there any risks to making Previously developed land data available?
