Sustainable Land Reuse: The Influence of Different Stakeholders in Achieving Sustainable Brownfield Developments in England

Abstract

The development of brownfield sites forms part of a wider international academic and political debate about the capacity and opportunity to achieve a sustainable urban form through the recycling of land (see, for example,

Negotiation over Costs and Benefits in Brownfield Redevelopment

“…There are a number of stakeholders involved during this process, including: environmental agencies, local governments, utility regulators and service providers, landowners, public and private developers, professional service providers, community interest groups and individuals, and end users (Dair and Williams 2006). The DMs, or key stakeholders, directly involved in a specific brownfield development project are commonly the current landowners, the prospective developers (or investors or buyers), and the governments (usually local governments) (Sounderpandian et al 2005;Dair and Williams 2006). The current landowners are usually reluctant, but obliged, to attend the negotiation due to looming legal liabilities.…”

A GIS and indexing scheme to screen brownfields for area-wide redevelopment planning

“…Wedding and Crawford-Brown (2007) provided indicative weighting schemes on the basis of expert surveys, Edwards et al (2005) required a workshop to determine priorities for 11 out of 33 sustainability objectives, while the remaining frameworks presupposed the involvement of diverse stakeholders in the sustainability evaluation process. While the latter approach affords greater flexibility and it insures that diverse aspects of sustainability will be properly considered (Dair & Williams, 2006), it increases the resources required to perform this assessment and thus, the likelihood that they will be implemented widely.…”
