Land available for development

We assess what land will be available in the city to develop for housing or employment. This process is called the strategic housing and employment land availability assessment (SHELAA)

A site being included in the SHELAA does not mean it will be available or suitable for development. 

The inclusion or omission of a site in the SHELAA will not prejudice any planning application, which would be considered on its own merits.

The most up-to-date published SHELAA can be viewed in full via the following links:
