Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA)

In accordance with Planning Policy Statement 3: Housing (PPS3), the Council must be able to identify enough land suitable for housing development to cover the entire plan period of the the emerging Local Development Framework (LDF), starting from the proposed adoption date.

We currently plan to have the LDF adopted by 2011, our SHLAA will therefore cover the period of 2011-2026. The interim period until that date will be covered by the five year supply identified in Meeting the Five Year Housing Land Supply.

The SHLAA will attempt to establish a realistic and deliverable capacity for new housing within the main towns and villages of the borough in order to inform choices regarding housing location in both the Core Strategy and the Site Allocations documents. We anticipate that the document will be ready in the Spring. It will be available for download below.

The SHLAA will be a joint venture between Copeland and Allerdale Councils. Details regarding the Copeland SHLAA can be found here.

Please note that the SHLAA is simply an assessment of settlement capacity for housing. It does NOT allocate land for development. If a site is included within the SHLAA this does not guarantee that it will be carried forward into the adopted development plan.  

We are currently working on finalising the methodology we intend to use to assess sites which came forward during the 'recent call for sites' exercise. This will be agreed upon by a 'working group' of organisations, external to the Council, who play a key role in the delivery of housing development. The proposed methodology is available for download below.
