You may have heard about greenfield and brownfield sites in the news or through your local authority, but have not paid them much attention. They are becoming more prevalent due to the growing demand for additional housing throughout the country. Whether affordable or one-off luxury homes, many of these areas are being rezoned for new construction.
Based in Eastbourne, Avant-Garde Construction Group is leading the way in new home building services for clients in the surrounding areas. Our professional new home builders and steel beam installers’ property development, steel frame structures, property extensions, and property renovation services are also highly regarded for their innovation and climate-conscious approach.
If you have any questions, please call us on 01323 351763. Be it steel manufacturing, steel beams, wraparound extensions or our renovation services, we are here to provide the insight you need.
For our large number of clients, the following outlines the differences between greenfield and brownfield sites:
These sites have not been built on before. Mostly agricultural land, a greenfield zone can be situated in an urban area as well. Property development costs are reduced in these zones as the land hasn’t been utilised previously, which offers our new home builders and steel beam installers the opportunity to operate from a blank canvas.
The issue with developing greenfield sites for the housing market is the loss of natural beauty. There is also concern about how much additional infrastructure is required to provide commuters with the services they need should they move from urban areas to reallocate land in Eastbourne or beyond.
A better option for environmentally conscious development would have been to build on brownfield sites, but many of those sites are now abandoned or derelict. Usually, housing disused commercial or industrial premises, the cost of clearing the area prior to the construction of new build properties tends to be the reason developers may avoid purchasing such sites.
There is also the issue regarding access. Abandoned sites may still be located within heavily industrial areas, and potential home buyers may not be enthused about this.
Brownfield sites are highlighted by the UK Sustainable Development Strategy. Using such areas for redevelopment not only cleans up abandoned land but also paves the way for community development and improved living conditions for many.
