Babergh and Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan Part 2 - Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment Proposed Approach Consultation
Proposed Approach to the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment Consultation
The Councils have published a proposed approach to the Babergh and Mid Suffolk Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). The Councils are inviting representations to be made upon the technical criteria for the site assessment for both potential housing developments and potential Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople sites. Comments should be made on the proposed criteria approach only, as other matters will not be considered at this stage (as they are for consideration in further consultations upon the Part 2 Joint Local Plan). In your representation please state whether you are commenting on the document overall, a particular section and/or which paragraph(s).
SHLAA Proposed Approach
A Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) is an essential part of producing a Local Plan. Its purpose is to identify what land is capable of being developed and to assess the constraints and opportunities of developing that land. The SHLAA process highlights issues which help inform future decisions regarding the allocation of land.
