Medway Strategic Land Availability Assessment

Planning Policy Statement 3 (PPS3) requires local authorities to produce a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) for their housing market area. This builds on previous studies and is designed to provide a more realistic and justifiable indication of capacity. It will ensure that the new planning policies within the Local Development Framework (LDF) are based on reliable evidence and are therefore deliverable.

The council completed a Strategic Land Availability Assessment (SLAA) of its area in November 2010 in order to identify sites which are suitable for development for housing, employment, retail and other uses and which could be developed by 2026.

The assessment identifies both sites regarded as suitable as well as those that have been rejected. If land is identified as having potential, this does not imply that it will be allocated for development nor be granted planning permission.

The first review of the SLAA was completed in May 2011, which rolled forward the end date to 2028.

The second review of the SLAA was completed in January 2012.
