Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment
The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (
SHLAA
) is
an important piece of evidence base which will inform the
preparation of the Local Development Framework (
LDF
). The
SHLAA
contains
an assessment of the amount of land that is available for
housing development. The role of the
SHLAA
is
to:
- Identify sites with potential for housing
- Assess their housing potential
- Assess when they are likely to be developed
The SHLAA does not determine whether a site should be allocated
for housing development, this is the role of the Development
Delivery (Allocations) DPD. A consultation on the
Allocations DPD is programmed for Summer
2012.
Annual updates to the
SHLAA
will
be required and this will normally be undertaken through the
Annual
Monitoring Report (
AMR
).
