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
