LDF - Housing Allocations Development Plan Document (HADPD)

Housing is maybe the most important planning issue at the moment, on a local, regional and national scale. Sunderland has seen a population decline over recent years and we need to aim to make it a more desirable place to live in order to retain the residents we already have but also to attract new residents from out of the city.

The Council has to plan ahead for the next 15 years to ensure that a range of the right types of houses are built in the right places to ensure there is plenty of choice for people to make when it comes to choosing a home. The Housing Allocations Development Plan Document takes its lead from the Core Strategy of the LDF, by providing detailed policies for housing development until 2021 and ultimately identifying sites to be allocated for housing purposes.

The consultation period for the Issues and Options document ended on the 10th February 2008, comments received are now being considered to help assist in formulating the Preferred Option for the HADPD. The Preferred Option stage of the document is programmed for consultation October - November 2008.
