Peak Sub Region Strategic Housing Land Availability Assesment

Derbyshire Dales District Council, High Peak Borough Council and the Peak District National Park Authority have commissioned EKOS with Arup to undertake a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) for the Peak Sub Region, in accordance with the advice in Planning Policy Statement 3: Housing.

The SHLAA will provide an important part of the evidence base for the preparation of the Local Development Framework and in particular the Core Strategy for each of the local planning authority areas.

As part the process the three authorities are seeking to identify land and buildings which may have potential to meet the future housing requirements of the area. To assist with the process a Site Suggestion form has been prepared to enable everyone with an interest to suggest land and buildings for further consideration as part of this assessment. The form is available to download below.

Identifying sites and buildings in the assessment does not however guarantee their inclusion in revised development plans or that planning permission will be granted. Nevertheless, it helps to make sure that the evidence base used in the review of planning policies is as thorough as possible. The relative suitability of suggested sites will be then be considered by the authorities, using criteria that take account of existing planning constraints, particularly their relationships with existing settlements.

The form must be completed and returned by Monday 14th April 2008. Forms can be returned either by email to: tamara.mcneill@ekosgen.co.uk or by post to:
