Allerdale Local Development Framework LDF Evidence Base construction may or may not have commenced. On larger sites of 3 or more dwellings where work had not commenced a year after the date of approval, applicants and agents were contacted to establish a continued interest in the site. Only those approvals where it was felt that work would commence within 5 years were included. • Existing Housing Allocations These are sites that have been identified in the Local Plan as being suitable for housing. They can be either green or brownfield. Allocations that were considered unlikely to come forward, perhaps due a lack of interest or a history of on-site refusal, were not included. Where it could be demonstrated that existing allocations have been subjected to renewed interest, then these sites have been brought back into consideration as part of the 5 year housing land supply. • Unallocated Brownfield Land Guidance on the 5 year housing land supply does allow for the inclusion of sites on previously developed land (brownfield land) that, whilst not having a current planning approval, may have still made considerable progress through the planning process and are therefore considered likely to have realistic prospects of being implemented within the next 5 years. This may include brownfield sites which are awaiting the signing of Section 106 agreements before full approval can be granted. • SHLAA Sites In some cases sites identified in the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) as likely to come forward within the first 5 years of the plan period were included within the study. Only SHLAA sites on which owners or developers had specifically expressed in interest in developing and which were within existing settlement limits were considered. Deliverability of Housing Land For each site identified, regardless of type, an assessment has been made pertaining to its deliverability. This is, in essence, an assessment of how likely it is that a particular site will come forward for development over the 5 year period. In order to be considered ’deliverable’ a site must be: • Available: The site is currently ready to be developed. 6 Meeting the 5 Year Housing Land Supply
