Land Availability Assessment
The Land Availability Assessment (LAA) helps identify sites we can use for the following:
- housing
- economic development
The sites can be used over the next 15 years. The LAA assesses the suitability, availability, and achievability of each site, including:
- how much development could take place
- how likely we are to use the site for development
The document includes:
- a list of all sites or locations considered, cross-referenced to their locations on maps
- a guideline for how many homes we expect will be built in each year of the Local Plan period
- a plan of each site showing their boundary
