Joint Housing Land Availability Study

 

Each April, the Planning and Transportation Policy Team undertake a survey that monitors the annual rate of house building.

 

This information provides the baseline data for the Welsh Assembly Government’s monitoring of housing provision in the annual Joint Housing Land Availability Study (JHLAS) as required under Technical Advice Note (TAN) 1. The study is co-ordinated by the Welsh Assembly Government’s Department of Economy and Transport, with input from local Housing Associations, Home Builders Federation, Welsh Water and the Environment Agency.

 

The purpose of the study is to:

  • Monitor the provision of market and affordable housing
  • Provide an agreed statement of residential land availability for development planning and control purposes; and
  • Set out the need for action in situations where an insufficient supply is identified.

The information contained within the study assists officers in making assumptions on future housing provision within the Vale of Glamorgan, particularly in relation to the development of future land use planning. The study may also inform the determination of planning applications.
