Call for sites

Following on from the ‘Call for sites’ that concluded in January 2021 the Council has now re-opened the Call for sites for a limited period. The Council is inviting landowners or their representatives to submit sites which may be suitable for future development.

It is important to note that if you have already submitted your site as part of the earlier 2020/21 Call for sites you do not need to do anything. If there are any changes to make to an already submitted application please email the council directly, do not resubmit the site and do not complete another form. This stage of the Call for sites process only relates to new sites that have not previously been brought to the attention of the Council.

The Call for sites process helps identify development opportunities as part of the review of the Telford & Wrekin Local Plan, those sites which are most suitable to meet needs will be determined at a later stage in the review process.

The Council will assess all submitted sites against planning policy and other considerations. Sites will be assessed for their inclusion in the new Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA). The SHELAA provides information on the range of sites which are available to meet development needs. The inclusion of sites in the SHELAA does not mean that the Council supports a site or that it is allocated for development. This is because not all sites considered in the assessment will be required for development.

The Council is particularly interested in any:

This stage of the Call for sites process is open until 28th October 2022.

Please note that if you have already submitted your site as part of the earlier 2020/21 Call for sites you do not need to do anything, do not resubmit the site and do not complete another form.

Brownfield land register

In April 2017 a new duty was placed on local planning authorities to prepare, maintain and publish a register of previously developed land (brownfield land) which is suitable for residential development. The register is published online on the Council’s website.

For a site to be included on the register it must be at least 0.25ha in size or capable of providing at least five homes, it must be suitable and available for residential development and should be deliverable within fifteen years. Further guidance is available on the government’s website.

Any submissions to the call for sites process that meet the definition of previously developed land (refer to the ‘Help’ tab for the government definition) will also be assessed for inclusion in the Council’s Brownfield land register.
