Strategic housing land availability assessment

The strategic housing land availability assessment (SHLAA) forms part of the evidence base for the Selby district local plan by providing a factual survey of potential housing development sites that will inform the sites allocations document known as Plan Selby.

The survey of sites and the criteria used to assess them also informs the calculation of housing supply in the annual five-year housing land supply reports (5YHLS).

The SHLAA does not allocate land for development or determine whether a site will be allocated for housing. The inclusion of potential sites within the SHLAA should not be taken to imply that the sites will be allocated for housing or looked upon favourably when determining planning applications. The decision to allocate will be made through the emerging Plan Selby site allocations document.
