Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment


The Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA), dated January 2021, provides an assessment of all the sites considered as part of the preparation of the Pre-Submission Local Plan.

The full SHELAA document can be viewed below, with site assessment sheets grouped by parish or settlement.

Site plans for each individual site assessed by the Council in the SHELAA are provided alongside their respective site assessment sheet. However, all sites can also be found on the Pre-Submission Local Plan SHELAA Interactive Map for reference.

NB: There is an addendum to the list of assessed Cranbrook and Sissinghurst Parish Sites which provides the site assessment for Land to west of Tilsden Lane, Cranbrook (Reference: DPC23) – see Key Documents below.
