Strategic land review
Overview
The Strategic Land Review (SLR) is an assessment of land to see which areas have potential for housing or economic development in the future.
This is the final version of the Strategic Land Review (SLR) and it will form part of the evidence base which will help inform the new Local Plan for South Tyneside.
For the avoidance of doubt it does not allocate sites for development nor does it set planning policy.
The evidence in the SLR will be used to help inform policies in the emerging Local Plan. The new Local Plan must identify sites to be allocated for new development over the next 20 years.
The green and amber sites in the SLR are more likely to be able to support this development, however all site options must be considered in the preparation of the Local Plan.
It is important to remember that other factors could change the suitability of sites for development.
In addition, planning applications must also be submitted before any development can take place. This process provides an opportunity for public consultation.
The Strategic Land Review results will help inform the next update of our Housing Land Supply Assessment.
