Amber Valley seeks potential sites for new development
As part of its commitment to preparing a new Local Plan for Amber Valley, the borough council has recently issued a 'call for sites'.
The'call for sites' provides an opportunity for landowners, developers and other interested parties to identify potential sites for new housing and economic development. This will help the borough council to identify sufficient land to meet identified need, whilst at the same time ensuring that land can be readily brought forward for development, including to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites.
All potential sites submitted through the 'call for sites' process will be subject to a detailed assessment in relation to their suitability, availability and deliverability, taking into account potential constraints to development.
The potential sites and assessments will then be included within a Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA) for Amber Valley. This will be an important source of evidence to inform policies and proposals in the new Local Plan.
However, it should be emphasised that the inclusion of any site in the SHELAA will not imply that the site would be allocated in the Local Plan, or that planning permission will be granted for development.
For further information and access to the site suggestion form and guidance notes please visit the council's website www.ambervalley.gov.uk/callforsites.
