	Brownfield Land - UK - Brownfield Sites - Brownfield Land for Sale - eais.net
		Farm and green belt land should be used to create a million new homes and a hundred thousand hectares of fresh woodland, according to a report that today proposes a radical shake-up in land use.
		The term 'brownfield' in the report relates to land that is capable of redevelopment, whether with or without treatment, whether contaminated or not, and where such redevelopment would be in accordance with planning policies or urban renewal objectives.
		Such land may be acceptable for its existing use, not causing harm to human beings, their property or the wider environment, but in a redevelopment context may present highly complex problems.

	Environment Agency - Brownfield Land Redevelopment
		Moreover, with the shifting patterns in population and demographics, the location of large amounts of brownfield land in the former industrial heartlands of the country matches poorly with the areas of highest current land demand in the south and south-east.
		Areas of industrial and brownfield land currently not considered to be at risk of flooding may be at risk in the future.
		Brownfield redevelopment should minimise the effects of development on the wider environment through using resources efficiently and limiting pollution.

	Promoting More Equitable Brownfield Redevelopment
		A local land bank authority is typically a nonprofit entity established by either a city or county to address the problems of urban blight and to promote redevelopment.
		One alternative is found in community land trusts, which generally are private non-profit corporations in both urban and rural areas engaged in social and economic activities, such as to acquire and hold land for affordable housing development.
		The city's brownfield program is based on the principle that "sharing of risks should lead to sharing of rewards." That is, if a community bears the residual risk for permitting the private sector to conduct risk-based cleanup, a portion of the private sector's savings on remediation expenses should be shared with the community.

		Land that does not justify reclamation might include sites in remote rural areas for which there is no potential use and which are not sufficiently obtrusive or dangerous to warrant expenditure.
		Although the total amount of land in the South West taken for residential uses almost halved from 1,485 hectares in 1985 to 760 ha in 1998, the balance of land taken from previously urban uses changed very little over the period.
		The National Land Use Database of Previously Developed Land for 2003 shows that the amount of brownfield land reported by English local authorities as available for development (65,760 hectares) has remained broadly unchanged since 2001 (65,500 hectares), decreasing by just 1% during this time.

		Defining brownfield land as any land that has been previously developed, the report suggests that maximising its economic use offers a good opportunity to reduce the loss of greenfield sites and can also make a wider contribution to improving life in towns and cities.

	Planning Portal - Gap between greenfield and brownfield land widens
		According to research carried out by property consultants Savills, up to 2002 both categories of land were showing similar levels of value growth but the latest figures indicate that greenfield land values have increased by nearly 40 per cent since the end of 2001.
		However, despite the gap in growth rates, brownfield land values outstrip greenfield values by at least six times, the consultants have pointed out.
		This is because the shortage of greenfield land at the end of the 1990s led to intense competition between developers for available urban land.
