In 2008 Richmondshire District Council (RDC) carried out a SHLAA
(Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment). This was an
investigation into historic housing land supply which determined
that further research would be required to identify sufficient
deliverable land and to assist to inform the development of the LDF
(Local Development Framework). This document is available on the
Council website.
Planning Policy Statement 3: Housing (PPS3) sets out the
requirement for Local Planning Authorities (LPA) to carry out a
Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA).
PPS3 requires local planning authorities to identify a
sufficient supply of deliverable housing sites for the first 5
years. A further supply of developable sites should also be
identified for years 6 – 10 and ideally years 11 – 15 but where
this is not possible indicate broad locations for future
growth.
The SHELAA incorporates both a review of the existing SHLAA and
information on the availability of economic land. The basis of
information about the existing supply of economic land is held in
the Employment Land Review 2007. The intention of this joint
assessment is to provide more robust evidence, which should provide
added clarity to decision making on the need, quality and type of
housing and employment sites, and inform any future de-allocations
and/or reallocations of sites within Development Plan
Documents.
The Richmondshire SHELAA will form part of the evidence base
which will inform the Local Development Framework (LDF). The
SHELAA is not a policy document, but provides evidence on the
availability of land in Richmondshire for housing and employment
uses.
