HELAA Overview
Minutes:
The Senior Planner provided an overview of the HELAA process and explained that it was a key evidence document which would support the Local Plan review and that its main purpose was to test whether there was sufficient land to meet the full objectively assessed need (FOAN) and identified where this may be located.
The Senior Planner responded to questions relating to:
· Model and calculation used to assess suitability of each site and to determine if sites put forward were deliverable.
· Density.
· Constraints affecting potential development.
· Estimating development potential/density of sites.
· Growth areas in the Borough.
· Consultation with key stakeholders including the Internal Drainage Boards.
· Future consultation requirements
It was noted that a draft report detailing the final sites and relevant information be presented to the next Task Group meeting.
The final HELAA document would be published with the Local Plan review.
The Task Group expressed their thanks to the Local Plan Team for the detailed work undertaken to date.
AGREED: A draft report be presented at the next Task Group on 21 February 2018.
