What are the brownfield sites in each locality that could – without too much trouble – be turned into housing sites? Anyone got any bright ideas?
Remember, it has to be accessible, remediable without too much money being spent (e.g. the Exmouth site that has millions of plastic bags under it) and able to support not just housing but to be in an area where schools, doctors, etc are not overloaded already.
EDDC has already identified Manstone Depot – anyone else see brownfield opportunities?
Developers prefer green field sites – they can build the expensive houses they want in the locations people want to buy in. How are we going to persuade them that there are brownfield sites that local people will welcome development on? Are there any?
