Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessments

Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). The dataset shows sites included in an Assessment that identified potential housing sites which are suitable, available and achievable.

The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) analyses potential future sources of land for housing. It identifies sites with potential for housing and assesses their suitability for housing. It also considers the likelihood of development coming forward in the future (their availability and achievability).

The SHLAA is not a policy document. It does not determine whether a site should be allocated for housing, or granted planning permission. It identifies the potential supply of housing land over at least the next 15 years. The 5-year land supply analyses those sites that are expected to deliver housing within the next five years.
