Local Plan documents - Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment

The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) is one of a number of technical reports that will provide baseline evidence to inform the emerging Local Plan.

The SHLAA is an assessment of the potential future supply of land in the city for housing.

This is explained further in the methodology.

The inclusion of a site within the SHLAA does not allocate or guarantee a site will be brought forward for housing or that it will remain unsuitable for housing, as things can change. It is the role of the Joint Local Plan to allocate sites for development.

The assessment of the site should not prejudice any planning application received, and each application will be assessed on its merits.
