Executive Summary The 2020 Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA) provides an up to date picture of the supply of land for housing and economic development for the period 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2037. The assessment has been prepared in accordance with national planning policy and guidance and will be used to inform the preparation of both the Tameside Local Plan and the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework. This SHELAA provides a review of the sites identified in the 2017/18 SHELAA and takes account of completions on all sites with a planning permission at 31 March 2020. In addition, it includes new sites with planning permission and reviews the small site windfall allowance in order to complete the overall residential land supply picture for the next 17 years. Of the 1,145 residential sites assessed 305 were deemed to have the potential to deliver 6,440 gross additional dwellings. Taking into account projected losses and the annual small sites windfall allowance then the potential supply is 6,923 net additional dwelling for the 17 year period. For the office, industry and warehousing land supply, 25 sites have been identified with the potential to yield a net 95,962 square metres of floorspace. This is derived from a combination of extant planning permissions and vacant employment land identified through the Council’s annual monitoring. Similarly, the supply of retail floorspace is also included and this yields a potential gross 5,815 square metres and is accounted for by a single site. …………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ii Tameside Council | Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment 2020 – 2037 …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Paragraph 67 also states that planning policies should identify a supply of: a) Specific, deliverable sites for years one to five of the plan period, and b) Specific, developable sites or broad locations for growth, for years 6-10 and, where possible, for years 11-15 of the plan. 1.3 Paragraph 80 of the NPPF states that significant weight should be placed on the need to support economic growth and productivity, taking into account both local business needs and wider opportunities for development. Paragraph 81 of the NPPF states that planning policies should set out a clear economic vision and strategy to encourage sustainable economic growth, set criteria, or identify strategic sites to meet anticipated needs over the plan period and seek to address potential barriers to investment. In addition paragraph 82 advises that planning policies and decisions should recognise and address specific locational requirements of different sectors. 1.4 The NPPF no longer suggests that reviews of land for economic development should be undertaken at the same time, or combined with, SHLAAs. However, in order to provide a comprehensive picture of the land supply in Tameside the Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA) combines residential, industry, warehousing, office and retail land availability. 1.5 Having regard to the above, Tameside Council has produced this combined SHELAA that identifies the potential future supply of land for housing and economic development for the 17 year period 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2037 in line with the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF) plan period. 1.6 The purpose of the SHELAA is to: Identify sites and broad locations with potential for housing and economic development; Assess their development potential; Assess their suitability for development and the likelihood of development coming forward (i.e. their ‘availability’ and ‘achievability’); and Inform the preparation of Tameside Council’s emerging Local Plan and the GMSF. …………….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 1 Tameside Council | Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment 2020 – 2037 ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. 1.7 The assessment will form a key part of the evidence base used to inform policies in these development
