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.

To view all allocated housing sites and those with potential for development on our Online Map, click on the link provided, then click on 'Load Layer to Map', then select 'Planning Data', then select Potential Housing Land.
