Call for sites
The Council is asking landowners, developers and other organisations or individuals to identify land with the potential for future development which will be included in the next Housing and Employment Land Availably Assessments.
If this is your first time submitting a site using the council's online tool, you will need to click the link above and create an account first, before you can register your site. Further guidance on signing up and submitting a site is available here:

Please read the Council’s Privacy Notice prior to signing up.
Call for Sites Database
In 2024, the Council introduced a new online tool for submitting sites. This new tool allows you to submit your site directly into the live call for sites database and to update information about your site as and when needed. If you submitted a site for consideration before 2024, please can you register your site again using the new online tool. If you have already registered your site using the new online tool, you do not need to resubmit your site but now is the best time to check that the information is still up to date.
Sites submitted for housing should be large enough for at least 5 new houses or flats. Sites for employment and other uses should be at least 0.25 hectares (or be large enough for 500m2 of floorspace).
Please make a separate submission for each new site. The more information you can provide about your site and what you would like it considered for, the more it helps the Council to assess its potential.
Why the Council is welcoming suggestions for sites with development potential
The Council needs to ensure there is housing and employment opportunities for everyone, as well as accommodation available for the Gypsy and Traveller communities within our borough.
The Call for Sites is not an indication of likely planning permission, but simply an opportunity to have sites assessed against specific criteria to establish if they are potentially suitable. The idea is to create a potential pool of sites for the new Local Plan.
