Housing Land Supply Position Statement

SHLAA and Housing Land Supply Position Statement

Planning Policy Statement 3 (PPS3): Housing requires Local Planning Authorities to identify and maintain a rolling five year supply of deliverable land for housing, particularly in connection with making planning decisions (para.7).

In May and June 2011 the Council contacted stakeholders who met the criteria below:

  • the developer or agent for a site/ sites that have an extant (unimplemented) planning permission,

  • the developer or agent for a site/ sites where there is a resolution to grant planning permission subject to a legal agreement, or

  • have a site/ sites identified as having some potential for residential development in the Council's SHLAA.

In order for us to meet the requirements of PPS3 as well as to inform our SHLAA, the Council is asking stakeholders to answer the questions regarding the suitability, availability and achievability of their sites via a proforma.

The deadline for returning forms has now passed and the 2011 SHLAA update will be on the website in due course.

Please note that, as required by PPS3, this updating exercise is an on-going activity, and it is therefore likely that the Council will be contacting stakeholders again in the future for up to date information. If you have been sent a letter and you are no longer the correct point of contact for the site name, please contact the Planning Policy Team. This will avoid you being contacted again in the future.

If you have a site that you believe may be suitable for housing, please complete the pro forma below. If you have a site which may be suitable for other uses please see our Site Allocations call for sites.

Both PDF and Word versions of the proforma can be downloaded and returned to us via email, post or fax.
