The SHLAA is a technical document identifying land that might have potential for housing at some stage in the future. It forms a key component of the evidence base underpinning housing policies and land allocations and will help the Local Plan to meet the area’s housing needs.
The SHLAA assesses the development potential of land that could be capable of delivering homes though an assessment of suitability, availability and achievability. It then indicates when it may come forward for development.
The base date of the latest SHLAA is the 1 of April 2023.
More detail on the method used to carry out the assessment, along with the findings of the SHLAA can be found in the main report and the appendices:
