Brownfield Counts

📝 How to Take Part in

Brownfield Counts

Across Sheffield, disused buildings, empty plots, and neglected sites sit ready for regeneration,  while our greenbelt faces permanent loss.

​

This form helps us build a community record of brownfield land that could be used instead.

​

Whether it’s a vacant lot, derelict building, or overgrown industrial site – if you know about it, it Counts.

​

Share what you’ve seen. Let’s show there’s a better option.

​

Here’s how to get started:

  • Choose a location

Pick a disused or underused site in Chapeltown, Ecclesfield, or Grenoside. This could be vacant land, an abandoned building, or an overgrown lot. Take photos if you can.

  • Submit your results using the online form
    You’ll find a link to the form below. 

  • Repeat as often as you can, and you can submit multiple forms
    The more data we collect, the stronger our case will be.

  • Be honest and accurate
    Record what you see to the best of your ability. Please don’t guess or exaggerate; this data could be used in formal planning responses.

  • Add any useful notes 

You can include comments about the site’s condition, any previous use you’re aware of, whether it appears accessible or fenced off, and anything else that helps us understand its potential for development.
