Stakeholder Meeting Minutes 12.09.08
We are undertaking a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment
(SHLAA) and consulted key stakeholder organisations on the draft
methodology of the Assessment in June 2008. The SHLAA will provide
information on the potential for housing to meet identified needs
within the study area. It will be part of the evidence base to
inform the production of the Local Development Framework
(LDF).
The SHLAA is a technical study and outcomes of the study do not
give a presumption towards development. Any development site will
need to be assessed through the planning process.
A joint SHLAA will be completed for the following four
administrative areas within Suffolk:
- Forest Heath District,
- Babergh District,
- Mid Suffolk District; and
- St Edmundsbury Borough.
Please note that there will be an opportunity to comment on the
draft SHLAA once completed.
