South Worcestershire Strategic Housing Land Availability Study
(SHLAA)
Jointly produced by Malvern Hills District
Council, Worcester City
Council and Wychavon District Council,
May 2011
The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) is a
joint report produced by the three South Worcestershire Local
Authorities of Malvern Hills District Council, Worcester City
Council and Wychavon District Council. This report is a further
update on the SHLAA sites submitted since the last SHLAA document
was published in June and October 2008 and subsequently the last
update published in January 2010. This report is an abridged
version and needs to be read in conjunction with the last update
for a full explanation of the SHLAA process (Second Edition:
January 2010). It is intended that a full update will be provided
in 2012.
The SHLAA report provides background evidence on the potential
supply of housing land in South Worcestershire. It is a technical
report and is not a decision or policy making document. It does not
allocate land for housing. It is a technical background study of
potential sites for housing. It provides a database of possible
sites for development, an assessment of their development potential
and deliverability to inform later potential housing site
allocations. The document has provided background information to
the South Worcestershire Development Plan and the Site Allocations
Development Plan. The SHLAA will help to inform the selection
of appropriate housing allocations which will be subject to public
consultation during the preparation of the South Worcestershire
Development Plan.
A hard copy of the SHLAA report is available for reference
in Customer Service Centres in Worcester, Droitwich Spa, Evesham,
Pershore, Malvern, Tenbury Wells and Upton-upon-Severn.
CD copies of the SHLAA report (£10 + 50p for p&p) can be
requested by emailing: Policy.Plans@wychavon.gov.uk
Please note that the deadline for site submissions to the SHLAA
was the 25th November 2011. Submissions
received after this date will not be considered.
