October 2025 update

Between 10 July and 29 August 2025, we ran a Call for Sites consultation to gather information on land availability across the area. We received 118 site submissions.

These sites are now available to view on our interactive map, which includes basic details such as site address, area, proposed use, and a unique ID number.

The publication of submitted sites does not imply any endorsement or approval by us. This stage is purely about collecting evidence to inform the Local Plan.

The sites are shown for notification purposes only. These have not been assessed by us and no decisions have been made on any of the sites at this stage. We will consult on the sites at a later stage when there is a greater degree of certainly on which sites may be allocated and those that are likely to be dismissed.

Some site submissions may have been made by promoters without the landowner's permission. We encourage landowners to contact us if they have any concerns or require further information.

Next steps – Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA)

All submitted sites will be assessed through the HELAA process to determine whether they are potentially suitable for development. This assessment will help shape the evidence base for the new Local Plan.
