Tameside Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment
Paragraph 68 of the 2021 National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that strategic policy-making authorities should have a clear understanding of the land available within their area through the preparation of a strategic housing land availability assessment and identify a sufficient mix of sites.
In addition Paragraph 001 of the Planning Practice Guidance (PPG): Housing and economic land availability assessments states that plan-making authorities may carry out land availability assessments for housing and economic development as part of the same exercise, in order that sites maybe identified for the uses(s) which is most appropriate.
With regard to the above policy and guidance in the NPPF and PPG Tameside Council has prepared a combined Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA).
It is important to note that identification of a site within the SHELAA does not imply that planning permission will be granted (if a site is not already subject to an extant permission). Similarly, it does not prevent the possibility of residential or economic development being granted on sites which have not been included within the assessment. All planning applications will be assessed individually against current planning policy and other material considerations.
