Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA)

As part of the preparation of the evidence base to support the Local Development Framework the Council is required to prepare a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). The purpose of this document is to examine the potential for housing to be built on any land which might be suitable for development. A first draft was published in February 2009 alongside the Preferred Options Report. We received a number of comments and these have been incorporated into a revised draft which is available to view or download using the links below.

It is important to note that the report does not allocate any land but is merely a technical study. Sites can only be allocated through the Local Development Framework.

• The SHLAA document
• Appendix 1 - Details of outstanding permissions
• Appendix 2 - Details of outstanding Local Plan allocations
• Appendix 3 - Housing trajectory
• Appendix 4 - Details of individual sites studied in the urban capacity
• Appendix 5 - Details of urban extensions studied
• Appendix 6 - Details of individual sites studied in the village capacity
• Appendix 7 - Details on which villages would be able to accommodate up to 200 extra dwellings
• Appendix 8 - Details of individual "suitable" sites
