Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment

Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment

The update of the Sheffield and Rotherham Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) refreshes the first SHLAA which was published as two separate reports (Sheffield, July 2008 and Rotherham, April 2009).

The update is being published in two parts:

Part 1 (March 2011)

Sets out the overall methodology and provides the final updated assessment of housing land supply for Sheffield District. It is accompanied by the Sheffield Site Schedule which includes all the details of all the sites that were assessed in Sheffield district.

Part 2 (January 2012)

Part 2 Sets out the overall methodology and provides the final updated assessment of housing land supply for Rotherham Borough. The Assessment has a base date of March 2010 and covers the period 2010/11 to 2025/26.

The next update for the Rotherham part of the study will have a base date of March 2012 and cover the period 2012/13 to 2013/14.

Land Allocation and Policy Decisions

Please note that the SHLAA does not allocate land for housing development and does not make policy decisions on which sites should be developed. The role of a SHLAA is to identify a pool of potential housing sites against which other policy considerations have to be balanced. It will be used to support decision-making and does not pre-judge the strategic approach that the Sheffield and Rotherham LDFs will eventually take.
