Further to this, paragraph 001 of national planning practice guidance states that plan-making authorities may carry out land availability assessments for housing and economic development as part of the same exercise, in order that sites may be identified for the use(s) which is most appropriate.
Having regard to the above Salford City Council has produced a combined housing and economic land availability assessment (HELAA). This provides an annually updated estimate of potential changes in the number of dwellings, office floorspace, and industrial and warehouse floorspace in the city. The latest assessment covers the period 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2042.
Derived in part from the HELAA, the city council has published a separate report setting out the five-year housing land supply position for the period 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2030.
The 2025 HELAA report, annexes and ward plans showing the sites considered as part of the assessment can be downloaded below.
