countryside and buildings” (National Trust 2009 ). The LRT aims to acquire, reclaim
and manage in perpetuity for the public good Type C sites.

impact on their communities will grow the longer they remain in a Brownfield state.
Policy makers have recognised this and begun to use the length of time a site has
been Brownfield to prioritise intervention.
CABERNET ( 2006 ) likened the process of Brownfield creation and reuse to the
filling and emptying of a bathtub (Fig. 25.6 ). Structural change creates Brownfields:
