Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA)

Wolverhampton City Council have carried out a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA), as part of the work which must be undertaken in preparing our Local Development Framework (LDF).

SHLAA Report

The SHLAA provides the main mechanism for identifying potential housing sites across the city and assessing their suitability for housing, and how developable and deliverable they are.

The SHLAA forms a key component of the evidence base for the LDF, including the Black Country Core Strategy, and will be used to inform the allocation of sites in the council’s Local Development Documents. The SHLAA will be updated annually.

The updated Final Report, published January 2011, is available to download below.  The Report should be read alongside the 2009-10 Annual Monitoring Report.  The SHLAA will be updated again at the end of 2011.

Previous Consultation

The draft methodology for the SHLAA was published for consultation in Summer 2009. A 'call for sites' exercise was carried out at the same time. These have helped inform the SHLAA.

A draft SHLAA report was published for consultation in November 2009.  Some minor amendments were made to the report in the light of the consultation responses and to clarify the availability of an immediate 5 year housing supply.

A stakeholder panel, made up of house-builders, developers, land-owners and delivery organisations, has also made a contribution to the SHLAA in Wolverhampton.

The Final SHLAA Report was published in February 2010.  This Report was updated and republished in January 2011.  The update incorporated the results of a further "call for sites" exercise at the end of 2010.
