Fareham Borough Council: Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA)

Fareham Borough Council has updated their Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). The assessment is required by Planning Policy Statement 3: Housing (PPS3) and will form a key part of the evidence base to the Local Development Framework (LDF).

The purpose of the assessment is to show how housing targets for the borough can be met by identifying and assessing sites with the potential for new housing development. It is important to understand that the identification of a site within the assessment is no guarantee that it will be approved for development or allocated in the LDF.

November 2010 Update

The updated assessment takes account of recent changes to PPS3. Sites have been assessed in terms of their suitability, availability and achievability and only those deemed deliverable or developable form part of the final assessment.

The SHLAA Update consists of three volumes:

Volume 1 - Methodology (145 Kb) This sets out how the sites have been selected and assessed.
Volume 2 - Update Report (581 Kb) This explains what the housing targets for the Borough are, how they are to be met and includes tables of all the sites that contribute to the final assessment.
Volume 3 - Technical Annex (28.35 Mb) This includes the detailed site assessments and maps of all sites assessed. (Warning! This is a large document that may take some time to download.) To reduce download time the document has been split into sections below that can be downloaded individually.
