The National Federation of Builders<\/i>\u00a0(NFB) wants local authority decision makers to look at how they can use their mapping tool more effectively to identify more brownfield sites to alleviate the UK\u2019s housing shortage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The NFB works to support local authorities to address the housing crisis by successfully getting developments started.<\/b>\u00a0It is on a mission to improve how the mapping tool is deployed in order to gain a more accurate picture of site availability and capacity<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0NFB has flagged that local authorities are simply assuming that\u00a0the data suggesting one million homes can be built is accurate and that the mapping tool is producing results based on out of date local plans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

NFB Chief executive,\u00a0Richard Beresford said: \u201cThis tool is another example of the private sector rising to the housing challenge. It may not give the full brownfield story, but it serves as a reminder that local authorities must do more to enable development within our existing communities.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Across Britain to date, approximately a total of 27,700 hectares comprising\u00a017,000 brownfield sites have been\u00a0mapped to potentially accommodate in excess of 961,000 new homes.\u00a0\u00a0However, the NFB has raised the point that in Horley,\u00a0Surrey, for example, accurate\u00a0plans\u00a0show that a local authority car park has the capacity for 30 new homes, whilst\u00a0continuing to provide parking for local residents, shoppers, businesses and commuters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Brighton\u00a0out of 162 brownfield sites\u00a0only 12 are publicly owned, equating to a minimum of 773 homes.\u00a0 In\u00a0Sheffield, the local authority could deliver up to 6,310 homes on 81 publicly owned brownfield sites.\u00a0Actual up-to-date findings reveal a\u00a0total of 300 sites\u00a0in the area, which\u00a0offer the potential for\u00a022,194 new homes\u00a0to be\u00a0constructed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rico\u00a0Wojtulewicz, senior policy advisor\u00a0at\u00a0the\u00a0House Builders Association<\/i>\u00a0(HBA)\u00a0said: \u201cThere\u00a0are even more brownfield sites that have not been covered, as well as sites that are not deliverable.\u00a0\u00a0Mapping them helps the entire housing supply chain understand how complex land ownership and sites allocations really are.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
