is preparing a new Local Plan that will influence the amount and location of new development across the Borough in the period up to 2031. Previous consultations focused on the content and strategy of the plan. Having considered all the comments received during these early consultations and having regard for any new evidence brought forward, the Council have produced a Submission Draft Local Plan, which we consider to be sound. Consultation on the Submission Draft will commence in December 2017. Following the consultation period the new Local Plan will be submitted to the Secretary of State for Examination. The Examination-in-Public is expected to take place in early 2018 and it is hoped that the Plan will be formally adopted later that year. Once adopted, the new Local Plan will be part of the Development Plan by which all future planning applications will be determined. As well as identifying how much development the Borough needs over the Local Plan period (2016-2031), the Local Plan will also need to allocate sufficient land to meet development requirements. Sites allocated in the Submission Draft Local Plan are considered by the Council to be sustainable and justified through extensive evidence. All sites have undergone three stages of assessment, as follows: • Site Appraisal – appraising site suitability, availability and deliverability, and other issues such as biodiversity, landscape impact, access, scale etc. • Sustainability Appraisal – appraising potential sites against a range of economic, environmental and social objectives. • Habitats Regulations Assessment – Considering the impact of potential sites on Natura 2000 sites. At any stage the Council may require additional information to be submitted about a potential site to support the site appraisal. Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment and Housing Land Statements The NPPF encourages the production of Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessments to inform the production of Local Plans. In December 2013, the Council produced its first Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) which included and assessed sites which may have potential for housing. Sites were identified through document reviews and a “call for sites”, however the Council has encouraged the continued submission of sites for appraisal throughout the Local Plan process. The SHLAA also looked at the Borough’s five year housing land supply at the end of the 2012/13 period. Barrow Borough Council 3 Proposed Housing Site Assessments November 2017 A second SHLAA Review was published in March 2014 and discussed the housing land position at the end of the 2013/14 monitoring period. The SHLAA does not make judgements about which sites should be developed for housing to meet the housing requirement. The document is not planning policy, but has been used as an evidence base document to inform the production of the earlier drafts of the Local Plan. More recently, the SHLAA documents have been replaced by Housing Land Statements (HLS) which have been produced annually since 2015. The latest HLS was produced in April 2017 and identifies the Borough’s five year housing land supply at the end of the 2016/17 period. The Council considers that it has a robust 5 year supply of deliverable housing sites. A cautious approach has been taken when determining which sites are deliverable and when estimating when they are likely to be developed. More information on this can be found in the Housing Land Statement 2017. Strategic Housing Market Assessment The Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) provides an assessment of the housing market that operates across the Borough and identifies housing needs and aspirations. The SHMA provides an evidence base from which housing and planning policies have been developed. The original SHMA was undertaken in 2012 and reviews have been carried out in 2014 and 2016.
