The Strategic Land Availability Assessment

Government policy requires local authorities to produce a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment for their housing market area that should:

  • assess land availability by identifying buildings or areas of land (including previously developed land and Greenfield sites) that have development potential for housing, including within mixed-use developments;
  • assess the likely level of housing that could be provided if unimplemented planning permissions were brought into development;
  • assess the potential level of housing that can be provided on the identified land;
  • where appropriate, evaluate past trends in which unplanned sites (known as windfall sites) have come forward for development and estimate the likely future implementation rate;
  • identify constraints that might make a particular site unsuitable for development;
  • identify what action could be taken to overcome constraints on particular sites.

This work builds on previous studies and is designed to provide a more realistic and justifiable indication of capacity. It will ensure that the new planning policies within the Local Development Framework (LDF) are based on reliable evidence and are therefore deliverable.
