Housing and economic land availability assessment

Call for sites

At the end of July 2024, the government announced proposed changes to planning rules. These changes significantly increases the number of new homes required in North Somerset.

As a result we are updating our draft Local Plan to identify potential new locations for development in North Somerset. This will help meet the government’s new higher housing target for the district of 23,805 new homes over 15 years. 

We are inviting landowners to put forward land which they consider suitable for assessment as a potential allocation in the Local Plan. This is not limited to residential use.

How to submit a site for consideration

You can submit a form either online, by email or by post.

One form should be completed for each site put forward. Each site must be accompanied by a site plan where the site boundaries can be clearly identified.

Before completing the form, please refer to the guidance notes.

You can also download our form and return it to the planning policy team by email or post.

If you require the form or guidance notes in a different format, for example Braille, audiotape, large print or community languages, please email the planning policy team.

Our call for sites does not affect the planning status of any site. It is not part of a formal planning application process.

Any sites identified for development in the Local Plan will be subject to consultation and approval in the normal way.
