The SHLAA is a technical document identifying
land that might have potential for housing at some stage in the
future, as required by the National Planning Policy Framework
(NPPF). NPPF states that a housing assessment should be used to
establish realistic assumptions about the suitability, availability
and the likely achievability (economic viability) of land to meet
the identified housing need. This then determines whether a site
could form part of the housing land supply and, if so, when it is
expected to be developed.
As well as providing evidence for the housing land position, it
will inform the review of the GMSF and Local Plan and provide data
for the Brownfield Land Register. The base date of this SHLAA is
the 1st April 2020. This SHLAA provides the annual update to the
previously published SHLAA, published in December 2019.
Finally, the SHLAA discusses the latest housing requirements and
whether we can demonstrate that there is enough land in the
five-year deliverable housing land supply to meet these
requirements.
