Important Notice – DisclaimerIn relation to the information contained within the Allerdale Borough Council Strategic HousingLand Availability Assessment (SHLAA), the Council makes the following disclaimer withoutprejudice:• The SHLAA only identifies sites with future development potential. It does not allocate sitesto be developed. The Council will decide the allocation of sites for future housingdevelopment through the Site Allocations process.• The identification of potential housing sites within the SHLAA does not imply that theCouncil would necessarily grant planning permission for residential development on thesesites. Any applications would be considered against the appropriate policies in the relevantdevelopment plan documents and having regard to any other material considerations.• The inclusion of potential housing sites within the study does not prevent them from beingconsidered for other purposes.• The boundaries of sites are based on the information available at the time. The SHLAAdoes not limit an extension or contraction of these boundaries for the purpose of a planningapplication.• The fact that a site is not included in the study does not preclude the possibility of planningpermission for residential development being granted on it. It is acknowledged that sites willcontinue to come forward that may be suitable for residential development that have notbeen identified in the SHLAA.• The categorisation of sites in terms of whether they are considered deliverable ordevelopable is based on an assessment at the time of the study. Circumstances orassumptions may change which may mean that sites could come forward sooner or laterthan originally envisaged.• The housing capacity of site included in the SHLAA has been estimated using a benchmarkof 30 dwellings per hectare. However this does not mean that this density is appropriate foreach individual site, which would need to be assessed through the planning process when aplanning application is submitted.• The information included in the SHLAA is ‘snapshot’ based on information that wasavailable at the time of the study, and is therefore unable to take account of any changes incircumstances. It is important to recognise that:• There may be additional constraints on some sites that were not identified at the timeof the assessment• Constraints identified on some sites may now have been addressed• Sites identified in the document may have secured permission since the informationwas compiled and published.Applicants are therefore advised to carry out their own analysis of sites to identify any constraintsor other information for the purpose of a planning application and not rely solely on the findings ofthe SHLAA.

A lle rda leLocal PlanEvidence Base1 IntroductionNational planning policy requirements inrelation to housing supplyThis Strategic Housing Land AvailabilityAssessment (“SHLAA”) has been prepared byAllerdale Borough Council (“the Council”) toprovide an assessment of the amount of landavailable for housing development bothcurrently and in the future.A top priority for Government is to ensure thatland availability is not a constraint on thedelivery of new housing. The new NationalPlanning Policy Framework (“NPPF”) statesthat local planning authorities should prepareSHLAAs to establish realistic assumptionsabout the availability, suitability and the likelyeconomic viability of land to meet theidentified need for housing during the planperiod.Purpose of this SHLAA documentThe Council are in the process of preparing annew Local Plan (“The emerging Local Plan”)will eventually replace the current Local Planthat was adopted in 1999.The emerging Local Plan sets out theCouncil’s long-term vision for the Borough forthe period 2011-2028. This includes thestrategy/target for housing growth and deliveryand also the general geographic distribution ofdevelopment within the Borough.Before the emerging Local Plan can beformally adopted by the Council it mustsuccessfully pass an examination in publicand be found ‘sound’. One of the key tests ofsoundness is that the housing strategy/targetis deliverable.In order to demonstrate that the housingstrategy/target is deliverable, the Council mustprovide evidence that there is:i. An adequate supply of housing land tofulfil the overall target set out in the plan.ii.iii.Enough housing land within each of thekey settlements and tiers of settlementhierarchy to deliver the spatial strategySufficient ‘deliverable’ sites in order toprovide a supply for the first five years ofthe planDocument formatThe report comprises:Chapter 2: describes the methodology whichwas followed in preparing this study.1 SHLAA: Main Report

A lle rda leLocal PlanEvidence Base2 MethodologyCore Requirements of the AssessmentThe SHLAA Practice Guidance states that, asa minimum a SHLAA should provide thefollowing core outputs to identify opportunitiesfor housing development:1. A list of sites, cross-referenced to mapsshowing locations and boundaries ofspecific sites2. The potential quantity of housing thatcould be delivered on each identified site3. Any potential constraints on thedeliverability of identified sites4. An indication of when each identified siteis likely to be developedIdentifying sites to be considered in theSHLAAStage 1 - Desk top studyThis involved using existing informationsources to identify sites with the potential todeliver housing. These included:• Registers of land owned by public sectororganisations• The National Land Use Database (NLUD)• Cumbria County Council’s EmploymentLand Availability• The West Cumbria Employment Land &Premises Study• Submissions to the Council from localresidents proposing residential land forinclusion in the next Local PlanStage 2 - Call for SitesLandowners, developers and other interestedparties were invited to submit sites forinclusion in the SHLAA , which theyconsidered to have the potential to bedeveloped as housing. Two call for sites havebeen undertaken: the first in June 2008 andthe second in July 2011.Assessing Site SuitabilityInformation was gathered on each site toassess their suitability. This involvedconsulting the following organisations:• United Utilities (gas/water/electric/sewageconstraints)• Cumbria Highways (access/highwaycapacity)• Environment Agency (Flooding Issues)• Natural England (Biodiversity/Landscape3 SHLAA: Main Report

Evidence BaseA lle rda leLocal PlanIssues)• English Heritage (Historic environmentconstraints)• Allerdale Borough Council(Contamination/Mining constraints)Each site has been assessed by planningofficers in order to obtain a detailedassessment on the location characteristics ofeach site including topography, surroundinguses, potential landscape impact and meansof access.From these surveys potential on-siteconstraints were noted and supplemented byinformation included in the Council’s existingevidence base:• Strategic Flood Risk Assessment• Open Space Audit & Needs Assessment• Cumbria Biodiversity Database• Cumbria Landscape Character Guidance• Local Geodiversity Action Plan forCumbriaEach SHLAA site has been assessed in termsof accessibility. This was undertaken using amodelling system that rated each site frominaccessible to excellent based on the numberof services that could be accessed via eachmode of transport.Discounting sitesThe first sieve involved discounting those siteswhich were wholly unsuitable for housingdevelopment.Sites were discounted if:• Considered to be in beneficial use• In a location detached from anyestablished settlement• Located wholly within Flood Zone 3• The means of access is consideredsubstandard and/or dangerous, orsignificant highway capacity constraintshave been identified• Planning permission has been grantedand/or development has commenced• Subject to severe utilities infrastructureconstraints (e.g. maintenance strips)• Below 0.3ha in area• Development would adversely affect theinterest of a protected site (e.g. Site ofSpecial Scientific Interest [SSSI])SHLAA: Main Report 4

A lle rda leLocal PlanEvidence Base• Development would have a harmful impactupon a Historic Asset (e.g. listed building,Scheduled Ancient Monument, sensitivearchaeological area)• Development would have harmfullandscape impact• Topography rendered the site unsuitablefor developmentAssessing site availabilityThe NPPF states that one of the key tests todetermine whether a site can be considered tobe deliverable or developable is whether it isavailable for development. Those sites fulfillingthe first sieve criteria were subject to anavailability assessment to determine whetherthe owner of a site was willing to allow it to bedeveloped as housing in the future.It was assumed that those sites that had beensubmitted to the Council by landowners andagents acting on their behalf has indicated theirwillingness to release the land for housing.Therefore these sites were deemed to haveautomatically fulfilled this test.For those sites that identified by the Council,ownership details were obtained from the LandRegistry. The owners were then contacted tosee whether they would consider releasing theland for housing.Sites were considered unavailable andtherefore discounted at this stage, if:• The Land Registry was unable to provideownership data• No response from the owner was receivedfollowing an approach from the Council.• Following an approach from the councilthe owner indicated that they did not wantto develop the siteAssessing site achievabilityThose sites deemed to be available were thenassessed in terms of their achievability. Thiswas essentially an assessment as to theeconomic viability of the site and the whetherthe site would yield a enough profit to makedevelopment a realistic proposition.A strategic viability model was used for thisexercise. Sites were classified in terms of:• Size: large, medium or small,• Type: brownfield or greenfield• Market value: high, medium or low (based5 SHLAA: Main Report

Evidence BaseA lle rda leLocal Planon average house prices at parish level)Taking into account the location (in terms ofland value/market attractiveness), area (interms of the number of dwellings that could bedelivered) and the need for remediation (interms of brownfield land) sites were then givena rating of viable, marginal or unviable.The difficult housing market conditions causedby the economic downturn has been factoredinto the assessment in order to avoid an overlyconservative approach. In some cases theviability rating has been adjusted taking intoaccount both historical trends and localknowledge of the housing market (e.g. demandand/or desirability of areas/settlements).Only the most constrained and thereforeultimately unviable sites were discounted at thisstage. Given the timeframe of the AllerdaleLocal Plan (2011-2028) it is likely that housingmarket will improve. Therefore it wasconsidered essential to allow for a certain levelof flexibility within our viability assessments.Assessing site deliverabilityThose sites considered to be both available andachievable were then assessed in terms of thelikelihood of when they would be developed.The assessment was based on deductivereasoning taking into account the economicviability of the site, the level of demand forhousing in the locality and utilities constraints(i.e. the capacity of wastewater treatmentfacilities) were factored into this assessment.Based on a combination of these factors siteswere then classified into two categories:• Deliverable (A realistic prospect thathousing will be delivered on the site within5 years)• Developable (There is a reasonableprospect that housing will be delivered onthe site later in the plan period within the6-15 year timeframe)Estimating housing capacity of SHLAA sitesPotential housing capacity of SHLAA sites hasbeen estimated based on assumptions inrelation to:• Density• Net developable area (“NDA”)In relation to density, the proposed densitystandard set out in the emerging Local Plan, ofSHLAA: Main Report 6

Evidence BaseA lle rda leLocal Plan3 Identifyingfuture housing requirementsEstablishing the level of future housinggrowth for the BoroughOne of the principal roles of the emergingLocal Plan is to establish the target for thenumber of houses that will need to bedelivered in the Borough over the next planperiod (2011-2028).Based on up-to-date population, householdformation and economic forecasting theCouncil has arrived at a proposed housinggrowth target of 5168 dwellings, whichequates to a requirement to deliver 304dwellings per annum.Proposed settlement hierarchyThe emerging Local Plan also sets out howfuture housing growth will be managed anddistributed throughout the Borough. A mapillustrating the proposal spatial strategy andgeographical dispersal of settlements isincluded in Appendix A1.It is proposed that these dwellings will bedistributed within a proposed settlementhierarchy comprising of:Principle Service Centre (“PSC”):WorkingtonIn addition to statistical forecasting the Councilhas also considered the following additionalcriteria/considerations:• Potential land availability and knowninfrastructure capacity.Workington has been identified as thePrincipal Service Centre in recognition of itrole as the main housing, employment andretail centre.Key Service Centres (“KSC”):• Past levels of house completions (whichgive some guide to the capacity of theconstruction industry to deliver and thelevel of market demand)AspatriaMaryportWigtonCockermouthSilloth• The need to maximise the delivery ofaffordable housing and to respond to andsupport growth in the local economy.Key Service Centres have been designated onthe basis that they are the recognised urbancentres in the plan area and offer a goodSHLAA: Main Report 8

Theaim of this approach is to try and ensure thatthe smaller rural settlements are retained inthe hierarchy to allow small scale infilldevelopment that can contribute to thesustainability of these communities.Proposed distribution of housing growthThe Local Plan seeks to ensure that themajority of development will be located in theexisting urban centres that provide the bestrange of services, employment opportunities9 SHLAA: Main Report

Evidence BaseA lle rda leLocal Planand access to public transport. This isconsidered to be the most sustainableapproach as it makes the most use of existingphysical, utility and social infrastructure andalso reduces the need to travel.However it is considered that the smaller ruralsettlements should have the opportunity toaccommodate small-scale infill developmentwhere appropriate. This is essential if they areto remain sustainable and to address some ofthe local need for housing and employmentoutside the main centres.Table xx illustrates how the Council proposesto distribute future housing growth betweeneach tier of the hierarchy.the main towns of Aspatria, Cockermouth,Maryport, Silloth, Wigton and Workington.Proposed housing targetsBased on the proposed distribution of theoverall housing target, the following housingnumbers are set for each tier of the settlementhierarchyTotalPrinciple Service centre (PSC) 1809Key service centres (KSC) 2015Local service centres (LSC) 1034Rural villages (RV) 310Annual1061196118TOTAL 5168 304Table xx: Housing growth targets f or each tier of the settlementhierarchy.%Principle Service centre (PSC) 35%Key service centres (KSC) 39%Local service centres (LSC) 20%Rural villages (RV) 6%Table xx: Distribution of housing target between each tier ofthe settlement hierarchy.Using the proposed distribution of housinggrowth set out in the Local Plan, the bulk ofhousing development would be located withinTherefore the Council must demonstrate thatis enough land can be provided to meet:• A gross housing target of 5168 dwellingsover the plan period and the numbersrequired at each tier of the settlementhierarchy:• PSC: 1809 dwellings• KSC: 2015 dwellingsSHLAA: Main Report 10

A lle rda leLocal PlanEvidence Base• LSC: 1034 dwellings• RV: 310 dwellingsEstablishing the housing target for the firstfive years of the PlanThe NPPF requires that local planningauthorities identify annually sufficientdeliverable sites to provide five years worth ofhousing against their housing requirements.Local planning authorities with a recordpersistent under delivery of housing areexpected add a buffer of 20% to their five yeartarget. Based on historic rates of housingdelivery, the Council considers itself to be a20% buffer authority.Based on a target of 5168 dwellings to bedelivered over a 17 year period (2011-2028),the annualised target is 304 dwellings. Thisgives a 5 year supply target of 1520 dwellings.However when the 20% buffer required by theNPPF is added, this increases the 5 yearsupply target to 1820 dwellings.
