How we identify land with potential for future housing development
A Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) is a process that identifies land with potential for future housing development. All local planning authorities are expected to undertake a SHLAA. We do this to help identify an acceptable supply of land for housing as part of preparing the Local Plan. The inclusion of a site within the SHLAA does not imply support for development. It is the Council's Local Plan as well as national planning policy which will determine suitability for development.
