Source: the councils’ own brownfield land registers, published via planning.data.gov.uk under the Open Government Licence v3.0. 2 sites in Greater London record an area that cannot be right (the register's hectares column sometimes holds square metres) and are left out of the hectare total. 131 further entries repeat the area of a site already listed (councils often record a whole site's area against each phase), so that land is counted once. 2556 of the 6119 sites (42%) state no dwelling capacity, so the capacity figure covers the 3563 that do — the real total is higher.
