Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment
Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment
Background
Planning Policy Statement 3: Housing (PPS3) requires that the Council undertakes a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) in order to identify housing land for the next 15 years.
The North West Regional Spatial Strategy provides Tameside with a housing delivery target of 750 dwelling units per year. This target over 15 years equates to 11,250 dwellings.
The SHLAA is a key component of the emerging Local Development Framework (LDF) evidence base. It will inform the Council's Core Strategy and help to support the delivery of sufficient land for housing in Tameside.
SHLAA - April 2011
The assessment aims to identify as many sites as possible with the potential for housing but it is not the purpose of this study to allocate land for residential use.
A copy of the Tameside SHLAA document can be downloaded here:
Please note: The inclusion of a site within the SHLAA does not under any circumstances imply that planning permission will be granted for residential development or other uses.
Submitting Additional Sites
The SHLAA will be updated on an annual basis. If you would like to put forward an additional site or sites you are requested to do so in writing using the contact details below. Please include an up to date plan clearly showing the site location with the boundary marked in red. Any additional information including ownership and availability would also be helpful.
Please note that any sites put forward will not appear in the formal SHLAA document until such time as it is updated. Sites will however be recorded in the SHLAA database and will be considered when the SHLAA is revised.
