Source: the councils’ own brownfield land registers, published via planning.data.gov.uk under the Open Government Licence v3.0. 1 site in Warwickshire records an area that cannot be right (the register's hectares column sometimes holds square metres) and is left out of the hectare total. 3 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. 138 of the 264 sites (52%) state no dwelling capacity, so the capacity figure covers the 126 that do — the real total is higher.
Before you get attached to one
A register entry is not planning permission and not an offer to sell. It records that the council thinks housing could work there. Whether the owner agrees is a separate conversation, and whether a scheme gets approved is a third.
- Net off the constraints first. Green belt, Flood Zone 3 and listed buildings kill more register sites than anything else.
- The dwelling figure is the council’s opinion. 4,367 across Warwickshire is a planning-policy estimate, not a set of designs.
- Price it off recorded sales. HM Land Registry Price Paid tells you what actually sold; work the residual land value from there.
- England has no zoning. The Local Plan and the Use Classes Order decide what is achievable, application by application.
