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 Local Plan review and provide data for the
Brownfield Land Register update.
The base date of this SHLAA is the 1 April 2021. This SHLAA
provides the annual update to the previously published SHLAA (as at
1 April 2020), published in January 2020.
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
requirements.
