The annual Housing Land Audit (HLA) is a statement of housing land supply within the administrative boundary of Argyll and Bute Council (excluding the area of the Council that is part of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park).
The HLA has two key functions; to demonstrate the availability of sufficient effective land to meet the requirement for a continuous five-year supply; and to provide a snapshot of the amount of land available for the construction of housing at any particular time.
The audit is therefore an integral part of monitoring the progress of the housing supply as set out in the Local Development Plan and the information provided by the audits to inform the identification of land supply in future LDPs.
From 2016 onwards the Argyll and Bute Housing Land Audits are provided in the online Storymap format.
Storymaps present the HLA as combination of text and interactive maps. Typically, within desktop/laptop browsers the Storymap will be presented with the text on the left of the screen and the mapping on the right. Scrolling the text will move through the pages and the map on right hand side will change dependent on the page being displayed. It is possible to pan and zoom the maps to areas of interest and in the map relating to the housing land supply, click or tap on features to see more information such as site references or details of programming.
