SHELAA & 5 Year Housing Land Supply
Strategic Housing & Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA)
The SHELAA is an evidence base document which contains sites that have been suggested for housing or employment development, including self build or custom build plots.
Site suggestions can be submitted for any piece of land within the District, large or small, and which could include land for possible new settlements, or other land away from our existing villages, and land within the Green Belt. We carry out regular Calls for Sites to update the information in the SHELAA, but sites can be submitted at any time. However as the SHELAA is only updated annually, the information may not be published until the review of the SHELAA is complete.
The SHELAA contains details of all sites suggested to us which will be recorded and assessed. However, including a site within the SHELAA does not mean that the Council thinks it is suitable for development and the SHELAA does not allocate the sites. The SHELAA gives us a wide selection of sites to consider, but allocation will only come through a review of our Local Plan, which we are currently working on.
Read our SHELAA FAQs for more information.
If you wish to put a site forward for inclusion in the SHELAA, then please complete a form and send it to the Local Plans Team at localplans@sstaffs.gov.uk

Mapping It is important that the maps are read in conjunction with the information in Appendix 6 as the maps show all sites suggested to us, but not all of those sites have been assessed as suitable for development. The most up to date mapping can be found on the Council's interactive Local Plan Map.

In order to do this in an effective way we will need to collect and use personal information about you.
