LDOs on brownfield land - government proposals
Yesterday the government published two things:
a) Invitiation to bid for funds to support LDOs on brownfield land
b) Proposals to incentivise LDOs/pps on brownfield land - requirements on local authorities to identify brownfield land that accords with the NPPF definition but which is also deliverable, free of constraint, capable of development and of supporting five or more dwellings. And potential designation in 2017 if LPAs don't have 50% of their brownfield land suitable for housing under an LDO or pp. Then in 2020, designation if 90% is not covered. You need to read this.

Hope this suggestion disappears in the midst of the election and whoever gets elected. We're struggling enough to get plans through with less staff without being threatened with special measures if we don't 'ready package' brownfield housing sites for developers.
