Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA)

This assessment identifies the amount and distribution of housing and employment land available across the district, it doesn’t allocate sites for development any site included would still need to follow the standard development management process through a planning application.

The primary role of the SHLAA is to:

  • assess their housing potential
  • assess when they are likely to be developed
