Lancaster City Council identifies potential housing sites
Report of potential housing sites is now available
Lancaster City Council has published its most comprehensive assessment of housing opportunities ever undertaken across the district.
The final report, which follows several months of surveying and assessment, is available to view at www.lancaster.gov.uk/shlaa.
The report concludes that 101 sites in the district are suitable for housing and together they have the potential to accommodate 6,995 dwellings.
Almost all of these sites are in accordance with the council’s policy of urban concentration, which seeks to direct 90% of future housing developments to the main urban areas of Lancaster, Morecambe and Heysham and Carnforth.
The report is just one piece of a much wider evidence base which the council must consider when planning for the future of the district.
Identification or exclusion in this report does not mean that sites will or will not be developed.
