Local Plan Review Evidence Base

This is the evidence base which is informing the review of the Local Plan. In addition we are preparing further evidence which will be published when we undertake the Regulation 19 consultation including evidence relating to employment, retail, student accommodation, the water cycle, climate change and viability.

Links to our current published evidence are below

Housing and Economic Development Needs Assessment (HEDNA) Final Report 2022: Prepared on behalf of the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Authorities to provide a joint and integrated assessment of the need for housing, economic growth potential and employment land needs over the period to 2041 and 2050

Housing and Economic Development Needs Assessment (HEDNA) 2022 Executive Summary: A summary of the full Housing and Economic Development Need Assessment, which has been prepared on behalf of the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Authorities to provide a joint and integrated assessment of the need for housing, economic growth potential and employment land needs over the period to 2041 and 2050.

Housing and Employment Land Availability Assessment 2023: A technical assessment which seeks to identify land which is suitable, available and achievable for housing and economic development over the Local Plan Period. The HELAA does not allocate land for development or determine the acceptability of any site for development, instead this assessment is an important source of evidence for deciding where new housing/economic development may be located.

Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment (GTAA) March 2023: The Coventry City Council Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment (GTAA) 2022/23 provides the latest available evidence to identify the needs of Gypsies and Travellers across the city.

For example, the evidence base for the Local Plan. Secondly, the document has become superseded.
