ESBC – Land Consultation – “Call for Sites”
ESBC Council is currently advising all those on our planning policy consultation database of the ability to submit sites to the Borough Council for consideration for the following land uses.
On the Borough Council’s website is a ‘Call for Sites’ interactive form (see the link below) which can be used by landowners and developers to send details of land which they wish to see used/reused for the purposes listed below. We are especially interested in identifying sites which may be derelict and would now be considered brownfield land.
The form offers the opportunity to submit sites that would be available for any of the following uses or mix of uses during the next 20 years. Sites which could be used for:
· Tree planting/ Biodiversity (minimum area of 0.5hectares)
· Renewable Energy Generation (minimum area of 1 hectare)
· New jobs – offices, industrial, distribution or other commercial uses of a minimum 500sqm or 0.25 hectare or larger.
· New homes, especially those for specialised housing developments including affordable housing, specialist housing for older people (minimum of 5 units, no maximum)
· Plots to enable people to build their own home
· Pitches for gypsies or travellers
· Retail, leisure or community uses
· Open Space (minimum area of 0.4Ha)
Submissions should make clear that the land is owned by or under the control of the person making the submission, or they genuinely have the means to acquire the land. Submissions can be made via our website using the link: https://www.eaststaffsbc.gov.uk/planning/planning-policy/planning-policy-consultations
Please note this process is separate to seeking planning permission.
The ability to submit sites is available at all times through our ‘Call for Sites’ option on our website, note that we use the data collected for monitoring purposes and the end of our monitoring period is 31st March. If we receive details after 31st March 2024 your site may not be included in the 2023/4 iterations of any evidence we publish.
In submitting a site you consent for your name, name of the organisation and who you are representing (where applicable) to be made publicly available, more details on how we will use the data you submit are available on the form on the website and on the Council’s privacy statement.
You can amend or delete your details from the planning policy consultation database at any time by contacting planningpolicy@eaststaffsbc.gov.uk
