Strategic housing land availability assessment

This consultation is now closed.

Suitable land available for housing?

The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) is an assessment of how many units can be accommodated on identified sites and the timeframes for when these sites are likely to be available. The exercise also identifies constraints associated with bringing potential sites forward and how and when these can be removed to help improve the potential for housing.

The SHLAA does not in itself determine whether a site should be allocated for housing and a site's inclusion in the SHLAA does not imply a site will be allocated for housing or that alternative uses should not be considered. 

Joint call for sites - employment/commercial and housing development

In January 2013 we invited interested parties to put forward sites for consideration for future development through the Council's Local Plan. This 'call for sites' was for both employment/commercial and housing development. This consultation ended on 18 February 2013.
