Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA)

The Hambleton SHLAA was first published in March 2008 and revised in November 2008, December 2009, December 2010 and December 2011. The primary role of a SHLAA is to identify sites with potential for housing and consider whether they are likely to be developable within a given time period.

Preparing the SHLAA has two main aims:

  • to demonstrate that a five year supply of deliverable housing land is available, as required by Planning Policy Statement 3 (PPS3)
  • to provide an important evidence base to inform plan making. The SHLAA has been an important tool in the preparation of the Local Development Framework (LDF)

Completion of the first SHLAA and subsequent reviews has enabled it to make a significant contribution to the completion of the Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD), as it forms a key part of the LDF evidence base. It provides a detailed assessment of all the land considered for housing development in the plan making process, and therefore has helped to inform the preparation of the detailed proposals that are included in the adopted Allocations DPD.
