We invite you to submit details of sites that you think we should consider allocating for potential development.

Guidance for submitting a site

  • Where submitting a site for housing development, please ensure it could accommodate five or more dwellings before completing this form
  • Where submitting a site for economic development, the site should be a minimum of 0.25 hectares or 500sqm of floor space
  • You must give your name and address for your comments to be considered
  • A separate form must be completed for each individual site
  • All submissions must be accompanied by a map at a scale of 1:1,250 or 1:2,500 showing precise boundaries of the site and the area suitable for development

Sites located within the following designated areas are not considered to have potential for development and, as a result, will be excluded from the Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA) and Brownfield Land Register:

  • Sites lying wholly within a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)
  • Sites lying wholly within a European Nature Conservation Site (Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protection Areas (SPA) including the Thames Basin Heaths SPA)
  • Sites lying wholly within the 400m buffer zone of the SPA cannot be considered for C3 residential development. However, other uses will be considered on an individual basis, dependent on the nature of the use proposed and impacts upon the SPA
  • Sites lying wholly within Flood Zone 3b – functional flood plain
  • Sites lying wholly within the defined Public Safety Zone for Farnborough Airport. Details can be found on our public safety zones page

Please refer to our planning proposals map in order to establish relevant planning policies and designations including the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area and its 400m buffer zone.
