Decision details
Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) 2022
Decision Maker: Leader of the Council and Portfolio Holder for Reform and Regeneration, Executive Director for Place & Economic Growth
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To seek approval for the publication of Oldham
Council’s Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment
(SHLAA) 2022.
Decision:
RESOLVED - That:
It is recommended to approve and publish the SHLAA 2022 as per
option one. A fully assessed SHLAA provides the evidence base for
identifying sites to be included in the housing land supply and for
other requirements such as the Brownfield Land Register. It means
the council has a full understanding of its currently available
land supply which helps to inform decisions on allocating land in
the future and can be used by the development industry to identify
land with potential for housing development within the borough. Not
publishing a full SHLAA leaves the council with an outdated
published housing land supply position and does not effectively
promote the potential supply of housing land within the borough to
interested parties for development.
Reasons for the decision:
Option 1 - To approve and publish the SHLAA
2022, in full to provide evidence for the housing land supply
position and Local Plan review.
Option 2 - To not approve and publish the SHLAA 2022.
Alternative options considered:
Option 2 - To not approve and publish the
SHLAA 2022.
