To meet our housing and employment needs up to 2040, we need to allocate enough suitable sites in the new Local Plan. The process we have followed to identify our preferred sites is explained in the Site Assessment Methodology (PDF Document, 0.55 Mb)
The main source of sites is the Strategic Housing and Employment Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA) 2021. The SHELAA is the best document to use if you want to see a map for each site.
Sustainbility Appraisal
We commissioned independent consultants to undertake a Sustainability Appraisal (SA) to provide a high-level comparative assessment of the sustainability credentials of the potential sites.
We prepared a proforma for each site which scored against a range of criteria. These proformas were used by the SA consultants in their assessment.

Detailed Site Assesment: Outcomes
Our detailed site assessments bring together information from the proforma, the SA and SHELAA, as well as any further information that came to light as we went through the site assessment process.
For housing sites, we identify the similarities and differences between sites in a particular settlement before identifying the preferred site(s) for housing.
