Call for housing development land made

Local landowners, developers, and their agents are being asked to either confirm or submit new details of land availability for new homes as part of Bath & North East Somerset Council's review of the draft Core Strategy.

As part of the review, the Cabinet agreed to prepare a new Strategic Housing Market Assessment to consider homes growth and future needs. This also involves the Council confirming that the information it holds about the availability of land for future housing and economic development remains comprehensive and up-to-date.

Councillor Tim Ball (Lib-Dem, Twerton), Cabinet Member for Homes and Planning, said, "The Council must develop its home building policy upon the best possible information and the land options available to meet our local needs.

"Although we have already contacted many of those who submitted details as part of the original draft Core Strategy process, we are still calling upon landowners, developers, and their agents to come forward to confirm their previous submissions or provide new ones for consideration."
