Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA)

 

The Hambleton SHLAA was first published on 28 March 2008 and revised in November 2008 and December 2009. The original was based on information at 1 October 2007 and the December 2009 update has a base date of 1 April 2009.

The primary role of a SHLAA is to identify sites with potential for housing, assess their potential and consider whether they are likely to be developable.

Preparing the SHLAA has two main aims:

i. to establish the adequacy of current housing land supply, and thereby provide sufficient details to demonstrate the PPS3 (Planning Policy Statement 3 - Housing, November 2006) requirement that a five year supply of deliverable land available for housing is maintained;

ii. to provide an important evidence source to inform plan-making, which should ensure that specific developable sites are available to meet the first 10 years of a plan from its adoption date, and ideally for longer than the whole 15 year period. The preparation of a SHLAA is thus intended to be an important tool in the preparation of the Hambleton Local Development Framework (LDF).

The Hambleton SHLAA consists of a covering report, which describes the process undertaken and summarises the results, together with five separate volumes (covering each of the five Hambleton Sub Areas - Bedale, Easingwold, Northallerton, Stokesley and Thirsk). The Sub Area volumes provide site-by-site details of the Assessment, in each case using the standard forms.

Completion of the first SHLAA and subsequent reviews has enabled it to make a significant contribution to the completion of the Allocations DPD, and it forms a key part of the LDF evidence base. It provides a detailed appraisal of all the land considered for housing development in the plan preparation process, and thus helped to inform the preparation of the detailed proposals that are included in the submission version of the Allocations DPD.
