The SHLAA

The primary role of the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) is to:

• identify sites with potential for housing development
• assess their housing potential
• estimate when they are likely to be developed

Although the assessment is an important evidence source to inform plan-making, it does not, in itself, determine whether a site should be allocated for housing development.
