Site Assessments

The Local Development Plan (LDP) will contain inset maps for those settlements which form part of the spatial strategy. The inset maps will, amongst other things show specific sites which are suitable for development.

Potential development sites were initially identified by various methods, including:

  • Call for Sites submissions (members of the public, landowners, developers and other interested parties were invited to submit any land which they were willing to be made available for future development;
  • Settlement surveys: desk-based research and site visits were carried out to determine whether any currently undeveloped land in and adjacent to existing settlements could be suitable for development (and conversely which sites should not be developed);
  • Re-assessing existing allocated sites and designations in the current Local Plans.

Does the inclusion of a site mean that it will be developed?

No final decisions have been taken on sites contained in the site assessment document as further work may be required to determine their suitability for development.

What happens next?

The site assessments will be used to inform the next stage which is the Proposed Local Development Plan. It must be noted that the site assessments are a work in progress, they may be added to, updated or changed as further information is submitted (including comments to the Main Issues Report) as work progresses towards producing the Proposed Plan.

Where can I see the Site Assessments?

Paper copies of all site assessments will be available to view in all Council Libraries, Customer Service Centres and Council Planning Offices throughout the consultation period. Alternatively the site assessments can be downloaded from the list below. They have been grouped by settlement. Potential strategic business and industry sites that are not associated with a settlement are grouped together.
