Eastleigh Borough Council s1

Eastleigh Borough Council Government policy requires Strategic local authorities Land to Availability produce a Strategic Assessment Land Availability Study for their Local Authority area. This builds on previous studies and is designed to provide a more realistic and justifiable indication of capacity. It will ensure that the new planning policies within the Local DevelopmentGuidance Framework notes (LDF) for are completing based on reliable the evidence Sites and Submission are therefore deliverable. Pro-forma This study addresses the Inspectors findings in respect of the Revised pre-submission of February 2014, and extends the proposed Plan to the year 2036.

A key element of the new Local Plan is the identification of land which is required to be developed or redeveloped to meet the needs of the Borough, up to 2036.

In order to identify suitable sites and broad locations that may be available to deliver the future development strategy, the Council would like to hear from landowners, developers, public authorities, or individuals from within the wider community, if they know of any parcels of land (even those with an existing building on it) which could be better used for an alternative activity.

The Strategic Land Availability Assessment (SLAA) forms a key component of the evidence base to underpin policies in development plans for housing and economic development, including supporting the delivery of land to meet identified need for these uses. It will consider land for housing, gypsy, travellers and travelling show people’s accommodation, employment, retail, tourism, leisure, waste, or a mix of these uses. The assessment will identify potential sites and broad locations, the sites’ unconstrained potential and any constraints that may exist. It will also make realistic assessments of brownfield land available and identify the actions that may be needed to be taken to make sites available, suitable and viable for development.

If the SLAA identifies land as having potential, it will not imply that the land will be allocated for development. All sites/broad locations will be tested and assessed against the spatial strategy and other key sustainability matters. We will be assessing the constraints and deciding whether sites should be developed as part of work on the new Local Plan.

Please use the attached pro-forma to suggest sites that you think Eastleigh Borough Council should consider for development through to the year 2036. In completing your form, please:  Use a separate form for each site (additional forms may be downloaded from www.eastleigh.gov.uk/localplan). Only information supplied on a form can be considered.  Attach an OS-based scaled map outlining the precise boundaries of the whole site and the part which may be suitable for development (if this is less than the whole). Without this mapped information we are unable to register the site.  Do not submit sites that: - already have planning permission for development, unless materially different proposals are identified; - are outside of Eastleigh Borough Council’s boundary;

All sites submitted will be assessed but it must be noted that considering options put forward at this first stage does not imply that the land will be allocated for development.
