Brownfield register

This Brownfield Register was published on 15 December 2025 by Great Yarmouth Borough Council. The Council will review and update the register annually. 

Land is entered onto Part 1 of the register provided that it meets all the relevant criteria as set out in the Brownfield Land Register regulations (2017). 

Broadly speaking, sites should be:

• previously developed land (as defined by the National Planning Policy Framework)
• at least 0.25 hectares in area, or capable of supporting at least five dwellings
• suitable for residential development
• available for residential development
• where residential development of the land is achievable

The Borough Council has not prepared, in 2025, an optional Part 2 of this register (which can grant 'permission in principle' for residential development), but will annually review the desirability of doing so. 

Please note that the register does not include any land in those parts of the Borough within the designated Broads area, where the Broads Authority is the local planning authority and responsible for the relevant Brownfield Register.

In accordance with the Brownfield Land Register Regulations (2017), the Borough Council has reviewed its Brownfield Register and revised it for publication in the 2025: Version 1 register.

Each site was reassessed against the criteria taking account of the most up-to-date information. Accordingly, some sites have been removed from the register while others now meeting the criteria have been added.

Sites expired from the register and reason 

If the site no longer needs to be listed (for example, if the site has been built on), it should remain on the register for historical reasons and not be deleted. This is called 'End Dating', each year the register is checked for those sites which should be end dated.

The following sites have been end dated in the brownfield register because each has either been completed or is currently under construction so is no longer considered available: 

The following sites have been end dated in the brownfield register because there is a lack of evidence that the permission remains extant:

The following sites have been added to the register as they have planning permission.
