About the Call for Sites and Call for Green Sites
A call for sites is a way for landowners, developers and individuals to suggest sites that might be available for development in the future. It is a normal part of plan making.
Government planning guidance advises that, ‘if the process to identify land is to be transparent and identify as many potential opportunities as possible, it is important to issue a call for sites and broad locations for development’.
We need to ensure that the sites eventually allocated within the Plan are deliverable. This means, among other things, that the landowner is open to developing it within the required timescales
An initial Call for Sites was held in 2019 and we also held a Call for Sites as part of the First Conversation consultation in 2020.
Sites felt to be suitable and aligned with the preferred Local Plan Strategy are proposed to be allocated for development.
All site assessments have been published as part of the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA), whilst they can also be viewed using the HELAA webmap.
