Paragraph 3.13 of the SOCG to the release of brownfield land and consideration of the impacts on infrastructure and services is highly relevant. It is not always the case that brownfield land within urban areas is suitable for release for housing purposes. New housing development within urban areas can have a substantial negative impact on infrastructure and services and can also lead to the loss of important existing uses such as employment. The creation of a genuinely sustainable pattern of development and a sense of community in accordance with the policies of the NPPF requires a mix of uses within easy travel distance of one another.
