Brownfield versus Greenfield site

Advantages of a Brownfield site

• Reduces the loss of countryside which could be put to agricultural use

• Helps to revive old and disused urban areas.

• Services, eg water, electricity and sewerage are already in place

• Located in a more central area (easy access)

Disadvantages of a brownfield site

• Often more expensive to clear old buildings

• Often surrounded by rundown areas

• Higher levels of pollution (so unhealthy)

• Roads may not be modern (too narrow)

Advantages of a greenfield site

• Relatively cheap and can build quicker

• Layout is not hampered by previous development (i.e. can spread out)

• Healthier environment

Disadvantages of a greenfield site

• Valuable green land lost

• Attractive scenery lost

• Wildlife habitats disturbed

• Noise and light pollution

• Encourages urban sprawl
