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
