This report examines how Welsh councils are supporting and encouraging repurposing and regeneration of vacant properties and brownfield sites into homes or for other uses.
In our report we focus on the barriers facing councils and their partners, but also highlight opportunities to learn from elsewhere.
We found that despite notable amounts of brownfield developments being delivered by councils, regeneration could be increased significantly with a more systematic, interventionist, and collaborative approach.
By drawing on successful approaches elsewhere and more focused planning, councils could be better equipped to overcome significant barriers.
We expect the Welsh Government and councils to consider our findings and recommendations.
