Housing Land Audit 4.15 The Housing Land Audit (HLA) is the mechanism that Planning authorities use to monitor housing land supply and identify those sites which are to be effective within a 5 year period. It is produced annually, with the Council’s most recent HLA being published in April 2010. The HLA is produced in partnership with a range of stakeholders including developers, Homes for Scotland, RSLs and land owners. In August 2010 the Scottish Government published PAN2/2010 Affordable Housing and Housing Land Audits which replaces the old PAN74 and appendix to SPP3. The advice recommends that HLA’s in future distinguish between affordable and market housing sites when monitoring development progress. 4.16 The Structure Plan sets the housing land requirements to 2020 which will be met through the Falkirk Council Local Plan using HLA sites, taking account of house completions since 2001, additional committed sites and new land allocations. 4.17 The effective housing land supply is defined as those sites which are expected to be free of development constraints over the next 5 years and therefore available for house-building. The 2009/10 HLA identified a total capacity of 2447 units over a 5 year period from within this effective land supply. 4.18 The Housing Land Audit also identifies sites deemed as being ‘non-effective’ due to development constraints or where the land owner has not taken any action to bring the site forward for development within the Local Plan period. 4.19 The Council and RSL development partners have carried out an analysis of all noneffective sites and contact has been made with land owners to try to establish if they would be willing to negotiate the sale of their land to create a land bank for RSL housing development. Discussions with land owners and RSLs will continue where appropriate. The HLA also helps to identify sites which will have an affordable housing requirement through the Council’s Affordable Housing Policy (AHP), sites with a requirement are detailed in Appendix 4a and maps in Appendix 4b. Scottish Vacant and Derelict Land Survey (SVDLS) 4.20 The SVDLS is undertaken to establish the extent of vacant and derelict land throughout Scotland and the amount of land that has been added or reclaimed on an annual basis. A register of sites provides information on local sites, which it is hoped will help to encourage their re-use or development in accordance with the Development Plan and other planning guidance. The purpose of this exercise is to identify any sites which could offer future affordable housing opportunities. The review undertaken in 2009 saw three sites removed from the SVDLS and two added; of this none of the new sites was considered suitable for residential use. 32
Open Space Strategy 4.21 The Council recognises the benefits that a range of high quality, accessible, green open spaces and urban civic spaces can make to a community. The range of benefits identified for green space is dependent upon the way that the resource is planned, designed and managed. On that basis, and in line with national planning policy, the Council approved an Open Space Strategy in June 2010 to guide future investment, development and maintenance programmes. The Open Space Strategy proposes a set of criteria which will have to be considered during any open space asset disposal and realisation across the Council area. Once this set of criteria is approved it can be used to help identify open space sites whose loss would have the least adverse impact on the community and which might then be available for reuse as sites for affordable/social housing. Current & Future Land Supply Council Owned Land 4.22 A significant amount of new RSL provision in the past ten years has been on vacant and brownfield land owned by the Council. Throughout the period of the 2004-09 LHS, development sites were created through the restructuring and redevelopment of low demand housing, consistent with the stock strategy set out in the LHS. Following demolitions and housing regeneration activity, a significant number of projects have recently been completed through the Affordable Housing Investment Programme (AHIP). Recently completed projects include: • Wood Street, Grangemouth – 73 units (RSL), • Craigleith Road, Grangemouth – 32 units (RSL), • Lomond Drive, Langlees – 32 units (RSL), • Inver & Birnam Court, Langlees – 44 units (RSL), • Corbiehall, Bo’ness – 16 units (RSL). 4.23 Projects currently under construction or planned on land created through the LHS stock restructuring/demolition programme include: • Chisholm Place, Grangemouth – 12 units (Council), • Carron Road, Falkirk – 46 units (Council), • Chequers, Hallglen – 18 units (Council). 4.24 In terms of securing an adequate supply of land for taking forward the Council’s strategic objective of building more council houses, a significant amount of work has been undertaken in the past year to identify land in Council ownership that has the potential to facilitate a future Council house building programme. Almost 200 potential sites were identified from land held on the Housing Revenue Account and other holding accounts and each was considered in relation to the following issues: • Land Ownership (i.e. holding account), • Planning Status, • Housing Needs Assessment Priority, • Site Capacity. 33
