As part of the development of the Local Plan, there will be a need to allocate sites for new homes and employment land, and potentially supporting infrastructure.
Submit any suggestions for sites that you think should be considered when we are development the Local Plan.
What’s happened so far
The Council undertook a Call for sites for the 2025 SLAA [insert link to this evidence] from Wednesday 17 September 2025 until Sunday 19 October 2025. The next Call for Sites is expected to take place in the Autumn of 2026, as part of the ‘scoping consultation’ on the new Local Plan.
As part of the SLAA process, sites can be suggested for housing, employment, retail, leisure, health, Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace (SANG), Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and other supporting infrastructure, such as suitable areas for renewable and low carbon energy sources, or flood alleviation infrastructure.
The housing category includes general housing (including market and / or affordable homes), self- / custom-build schemes, Gypsy and Traveller and Travelling Showpeople accommodation, student accommodation, accommodation for older people, or a mix of housing types.
For the 2025 SLAA, Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a new category of potential land use that has been introduced by Government. BNG is an approach to development that makes sure that habitats for wildlife are left in a measurably better state than they were before the development and is mandatory under Schedule 7A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as inserted by Schedule 14 of the Environment Act 2021).
More information about this can be found on the Governments website:
