At least some brownfield sites may be close to where jobs are. In
Southampton the two major brownfields developments are part of the old
docks (Ocean Village) and currently the old Vosper Thorneycroft
shipyard in Woolston. Both of which allow relatively easy access to
town centre jobs.


Brownfield sites cannot scrape the surface of the housing shortfall.
