Draft Strategic Housing Land
Availability Assessment Report
Information on the draft Strategic Housing
Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) report has been broken
down into three parts:
1. Individual site assessments for
each settlement
2. Maps of the borough's settlements showing SHLAA
sites in each area
3. The draft SHLAA report
and its appendices
It should be stressed that
this study has not been formally endorsed by the Council in any
way. The inclusion of a site in the SHLAA does not guarantee
that we will allocate it or support its development in the
future. All sites will need to be judged against relevant
planning policies and other considerations. The consultation
process is being undertaken as a statutory part of the study and,
whilst we are assisting the consultation, the study remains
the property of the consultants White Young Green.
1. Site assessments
The consultants have assessed every site 0.1
hectares in size and above. Details of these sites are
available below. For sites smaller than this, the
consultants have taken a random sample and so not every site’s
details are available.
The scoring system used by
the consultants is provided below. Please remember that the
site's score is not the "be all and end all" - the planning
policies that apply to each site remain the most important
consideration.
The site assessments have been grouped by
settlement area. If you know your site's reference, you can
quickly identify which group it is in by using the first two
letters of the reference, as shown in brackets below.
2. Maps showing sites in different
areas of the Borough
To help you to identify the sites that were
highlighted for the study, including those received through the
Call for Sites exercise, we have prepared maps of the borough
showing the location of each site and its reference
number. The maps are available to download below.
Once you know reference numbers, you can look up the sites'
details in the list of site assessments in section 1
(above).
If you have problems opening any of the files, please see our
help page or

A copy of the report is also available to view

normal office hours.
