Isn brownfield land preferred for development by this government ?
Yes, but it is widely recognised that there is insufficient brownfield land available for the proposed levels of new home building that the government is calling for. The current target is for 60% of new development to be on brownfield, but there are industry concerns whether 60% is achievable. Even if it is, that still implies that 40% of 3 million new homes (1.2 million) homes will be built on greenfield sites.
