The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) for Rushcliffe is an assessment of a number of sites to consider whether they could be suitable for housing development. Please note that these are sites that could be suitable for development rather than sites that should be developed. The SHLAA will be an important study to support the forthcoming Local Development Framework. The assessment is known as the Nottingham Core SHLAA and has been carried out alongside the five other local authorities that make up the Nottingham Core Housing Market Area. Methodology The Council’s have progressed the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment study in accordance with the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment Practice Guidance (July 2007) issued by the Department for Communities and Local Government. The partner authorities have used the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment Practice Guidance to produce a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment Methodology. The draft methodology was subject to a period of consultation between Monday 21 January 2008 and Monday 18 February 2008. A final methodology was produced in July 2008. In addition, the Planning Advisory (PAS) have produced a clear, simple guide to the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment process and how the preparation of the assessment and development plan documents relate to each other - see the PAS guidance document - Strategic housing land availability assessment and development plan document preparation. First Draft SHLAA Assessment 2008 The draft SHLAA assessment was published for consultation in November 2008 and around 300 comments were received during the consultation from a number of organisations and individuals. Comments that were useful or beneficial to the process were incorporated into the final assessment for 2008. Final SHLAA Assessment 2008 The final SHLAA assessment for 2008 was published on 30 March 2009: Future Reviews The SHLAA will be reviewed annually. As such, new sites will be accepted to be assessed for housing development at any time, to be held on file until a review begins.
