Introduction 1.1 Background The purpose of the assessment is to identify sites within the Cornwall study area which have the potential to accommodate housing but which do not as yet have planning permission for residential use. This Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) has been prepared by Cornwall Council as part of the evidence base for the Cornwall Local Plan. This update builds on and refreshes the previous Cornwall SHLAAs (published 2011, 2013 and 2015). Whilst the 2011 study focused solely on the main towns in Cornwall, the 2013 study both extended the coverage to smaller settlements and updated the original assessment, compiling the results into a single report. The contents have also been reviewed in 2015 and 2016 to incorporate additional SHLAA sites from public submissions sites and to factor in new planning permissions and revised build out rates. Due to the scale and nature of producing a SHLAA to cover the whole of Cornwall, the Council took the decision to only re-assess sites from the previous
