Excellent Robert, very useful.

Note that brownfield sites can remain that way for many many years before 
eventually being developed. I recall investigating brownfield sites in 
Birmingham as part of my degree in the 1980's (photogrammetry module). Some of 
those sites are still brownfield. Many heavily contaminated sites in our urban 
sprawls require cleaning up before they can ever be reused.

Cheers
Andy

Subject: [Talk-GB] Stale Developments

I'd like to announce a new mini QA tool that I've put together for UK
OSMers: Stale Developments: https://osm.mathmos.net/developments/

It finds OSM UK highway and landuse tags with tags values of
construction, brownfield and greenfield, which haven't been edited for
over a year. The idea is that such objects should correspond to
real-life developments, whose status is likely to change on that
timescale. Hence the OSM objects probably need reviewing and updating.

To keep the numbers reasonable, the page above only lists the most
stale objects (no edits for over four years), but the full set of the
data is exposed through my Survey Me tool at
https://osm.mathmos.net/survey/ .

Do take a look if you're interested. I hope this is useful to some of you.

Robert.
