Introduction 1.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that the purpose of the planning system is to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development including the delivery of a wide choice of high quality homes and to boost significantly the supply of housing. 1.2 Local Planning Authorities should have a clear understanding of the supply of housing land in their area. A Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment should establish realistic assumptions about the availability, suitability and likely economic viability of land to meet the identified need for housing over the plan period. 1.3 This SHLAA 2016 has been produced in accordance with the NPPF and National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG). 1.4 National Planning Practice Guidance identifies that an assessment should: • identify sites and broad locations with potential for development; • assess their development potential; and • assess their suitability for development and the likelihood of development coming forward (the availability and deliverability/achievability). 1.5 The SHLAA 2016 Methodology, Appendix E of this report, sets out how the Council collects and assesses site information. The SHLAA 2016 uses the published SHLAA 2014 database as the starting point for 2016 site assessment. The SHLAA 2016 uses the key assumptions from the SHLAA 2014, including estimating housing potential, lead in times and delivery rates, but updated when SHLAA sites are most likely to be developed using latest intelligence available. This approach, whilst cautious, was considered appropriate, despite an evidenced upturn in delivery within the City. 1.6 All SHLAA sites are shown on a citywide map which forms Part 2 of the SHLAA 2016. Site boundaries and greater details for developable sites included in the 16 year potential housing supply are published within the supporting document Part 3 of 3: SHLAA 2016: Plans and Schedules. 1.7 Hull City Council monitors housing delivery on an annual basis from April to the following March. Site details for the SHLAA are updated annually. The SHLAA 2016 has a baseline date of 1st April 2016. Monitoring is reported annually within the Council’s Authority Monitoring Report. 1.8 Site details and evidence provided as part of previous ‘call for sites’ or provided directly for consideration within the SHLAA 2016 are included as appropriate. 1.9 The information in this SHLAA is subject to the disclaimers set out in Appendix F. Part 1 of 3: SHLAA 2016 Report Hull City Council - Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment 2016 Consultation 1.10 In March 2015 Hull City Council held a stakeholder workshop to review the SHLAA 2014 and to contribute to the SHLAA and new Hull Local Plan Publication Consultation Document. The workshop included: • the findings of the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment 2014 including sites, • details of progress on the Hull Local Plan, • an update on the SHLAA methodology including ‘call for sites’ exercise, • a question and answer session. 1.11 The event considered both site specific and general details of the SHLAA2014. Any additional information provided and considered appropriate for inclusion within the methodology or for within individual site details has been included in the SHLAA 2016. 1.12 The SHLAA 2016 Methodology is contained in Appendix E. 1.13 The Hull Local Plan Preferred Options stage included a public consultation between the 12th October and Monday 23rd November 2015. The Hull Local Plan Preferred Options included a Policies Map showing all the potential new housing, employment, shopping and open space sites as identified by supporting evidence base documents to the Local Plan. The Public where asked to identify any additional sites, including housing, that they considered had potential for new uses over the next 15 years. These responses have been considered in the SHLAA 2016. Part 1 of 3: SHLAA 2016 Report Hull City Council - Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment 2016 2. SHLAA Core Outputs 2.1 The core outputs of the SHLAA 2016 are listed below • A list of all sites or broad locations considered, cross-referenced to their locations on maps: • This report, Part 1, Appendix A, B and C, list all developable sites • This report, Part 1, Appendix D, lists all sites considered within the SHLAA but not currently considered as contributing to potential housing supply within the period 2016 to 2032. • SHLAA 2016 Part 2, SHLAA sites cross-referenced to their locations on a city wide map. • An assessment of each site or broad location, in terms of its suitability for development, availability and achievability (including whether the site/broad location is viable) to determine whether a site is realistically expected to be developed and when: • SHLAA 2016 Part 3, contains an individual site schedule and site boundary plan. Includes a summary of details held for those sites which are considered to be realistic candidates for development. • SHLAA 2016 Part 3 provides an individual site schedule, trajectory and boundary plan for each developable site within the SHLAA 2016. • More detail for those sites which are considered to be realistic candidates for development, where others have been discounted for clearly evidenced and justified reasons: • SHLAA 2016 Part 3 provides an individual site schedule, trajectory and boundary plan for each site considered to be a realistic candidate for development. Includes a summary of details held for those sites. • The potential type and quantity of development that could be delivered on each site/broad location, including a reasonable estimate of build out rates, setting out how any barriers to delivery could be overcome and when: • SHLAA 2016 Part 3 provides an individual site schedule, trajectory and boundary plan for each developable site within the SHLAA 2016. Part 1 of 3: SHLAA 2016 Report Hull City Council - Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment 2016 • Please note the SHLAA 2016 does not prescribe potential types of development on sites. Details of the use of indicative neighbourhood densities to identify potential development on some sites, is explained in Appendix E: Methodology. • An indicative trajectory of anticipated development and consideration of associated risks: • SHLAA 2016 Part 1 details the indicative trajectory of anticipated development. • SHLAA 2016 Part 3 provides an individual site schedule, trajectory and boundary plan for each developable site within the SHLAA 2016. • Determine the impact, both actual and indicative, that levels of demolition will have upon the household stock within Hull, including household baseline: • the total level of households at 1st April 2011 • the number of households requiring rehousing, following demolition of their homes between 1st April 2011 to 31st March 2016. • the number of properties, indicatively identified for demolition, containing households requiring rehousing, at 1st April 2011 (Hull City Council – Planning Policy, Housing Strategy and Renewal) Part 1 of 3: SHLAA 2016 Report Hull City Council - Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment 2016 3. Potential Housing Supply 2016 to 2032 3.1 The SHLAA should identify:- • a five years’ supply of specific deliverable sites (2016-21); • a supply of specific developable sites or broad locations for growth for years 6 to 10 (2021-26); and where possible • a supply of specific developable sites or broad locations for growth for years 11 to 16 (2026-32). 3.2 The sites in the SHLAA 2016 were assessed in accordance with the methodology detailed in Appendix E of this report. The amount of housing to be potentially developed on SHLAA 2016 sites over the period 2016 to 2032 is set out in table 3.1. Table 3.1: SHLAA 2016 Potential housing supply (excluding windfall). Timescale Potential housing supply % of potential supply housing Five year supply 3,902 33 6-10 6,128 51 11-16 1,884 16 TOTAL 11,914 100 3.3 The potential developable housing supply 2016 to 2032 is distributed across 137 SHLAA sites. Windfall 3.4 Not all future delivery of housing will be identified in the SHLAA or allocated in forward planning documents such as local plans and area action plans. 'Windfall' sites come forward as unforeseen circumstances arise, examples include conversions or changes of use. Windfall sites will be assessed against national and the Council’s planning policies at that time. 3.5 NPPF paragraph 48 states local planning authorities may make an allowance for windfall sites in the five-year supply if they have compelling evidence that such sites have consistently become available in the local area and will continue to provide a reliable source of supply. Any allowance should be realistic having regard to the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment, historic windfall delivery rates and expected future trends, and should not include residential gardens. 3.6 Given the compact urban nature of Hull, small sites, conversions and changes of use have historically contributed to the delivery of housing within the city. Small sites, those sites Part 1 of 3: SHLAA 2016 Report Hull City Council - Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment 2016 delivering less than 5 dwellings, are excluded from the SHLAA in the SHLAA methodology, Appendix E.
