Adur District Five Year Housing Land Supply Assessment
The revised National Planning Policy Framework (2019) introduced the Housing Delivery Test against which housing delivery will now be measured. The Housing Delivery Test measures housing delivery over the last three years against the adopted housing requirement for the same period.
This five-year housing land supply calculation reflects the position as at 1st April 2023. As Adur failed the Housing Delivery Test published in January 2022 the council has applied a 20% buffer to its five-year land supply calculation.

Adur Housing Implementation Strategy 2016
This Housing Implementation Strategy was prepared to support the Adur Local Plan 2011-2032, in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (paragraph 47).
It sets out the council's proposed approach to managing the delivery of housing over the Local Plan period 2011-2032 in order to support the housing delivery target of 3,718 dwellings.
The document includes the housing trajectory, identifies the sources of housing supply for the Plan period and the five-year housing land supply position as at 1st April 2016 for housing completions and commitments and the position at 31st October 2016 for the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment.
The document has a base date of 31st October 2016.

Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA)
What is a SHLAA?
Government guidance set out in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires all councils to assess the amount of land available for housing development and publish the results in the form of a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA).
The primary role of the Assessment is to:
- identify sites with the potential for housing
- assess their housing potential
- assess when they are likely to be developed
The completed study forms part of the evidence base for Local Development Framework preparation and also the starting point for an annual monitoring of housing land availability.
A site's inclusion in the Assessment does not imply that it will be made available for housing. The SHLAA is a technical study and not a policy document. Its purpose is to identify possible housing sites and assess overall housing potential. Decisions on which sites should be brought forward for development will be determined through the Local Development Framework process.
Call for sites
On regular occasions the council has publicised a 'call for sites' when landowners, developers, agents and other stakeholders with knowledge and interests in the area are asked either to put forward opportunities for assessment or provide any updated information on existing SHLAA sites.
Like most authorities, Adur District Council suggest a time period within which sites should be promoted. However, as housing need is so great in Adur and site opportunities so limited the reality is that the 'call for sites' never closes, and interested parties are encouraged to submit potential sites for consideration at any time:

Updated methodology and call for sites 2020
Adur & Worthing Councils consulted on an updated methodology early in 2020. This included amendments to reflect the updated NPPF 2019 and the updated SHLAA guidance published by the Government.
