National Brownfield Forum research on the interactions of policies affecting planning & development of brownfield land has been published.

The report is for those interested in growth & investment missions for brownfield-led housing & infrastructure.

www.bgs.ac.uk/news/new-res...
A quote graphic, sharing a quote from NBF chair and principal geoscientist at BGS Darren Beriro, which says "The report findings demonstrate the need to improve how environmental and planning policies in England interact to support the planning and development of brownfield land. The evidence collected suggests that this will increase the amount of brownfield land that is being successfully re-used for housing and infrastructure." At the bottom of the graphic is an image of reclaimed brownfield land in the heart of Nottingham.
