Huntingdonshire District Council has undertaken a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) which identifies and assesses potential housing sites within or adjacent to the Market Towns and Key Service Centres identified in the emerging Core Strategy. It also includes a section on rural exception sites within some smaller settlements. The SHLAA also looks at the status of sites already allocated for housing in the existing Local Plan, as well as sites which have outstanding planning permission for housing.

The SHLAA builds upon and supersedes the Housing Land Availability Assessment (HLAA) of January 2007, and the Housing Land Availability Study (HLAS) of October 2007.

The SHLAA takes the form of several documents,  which can be viewed by clicking in the 'Linked Documents' box to the right of this page. The documents are also available to view at the Customer Service Centre at Centenary House, St Mary's Street, Huntingdon.

Part 1 - gives details of the background to the study, methodology, details of sites studied , and draws together housing land supply data

Part 2 - is made up of individual chapters for each settlement studied when looking for potential sites

Part 3 - covers rural exceptions sites

The document will continue to be reviewed, mainly through the "Local Development Framework - Annual Monitoring Report" each December,  and will be updated as necessary.
