Land Availability Assessment

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
