Call for sites
As part of the Local Plan Phase 3 consultation Call for Sites is now open. Consultation will run from 6 December 2023 – 16 February 2024.
December 2023 Update
When submitting a Call for Site, please ensure updates for new and existing sites, include a Call for Sites form (available to download below).
Once complete email to policy.consultation@southglos.gov.uk quoting the existing site reference number (eg SGXXX) or ‘NEW’ for new sites, in the email subject heading. Once received we will confirm receipt.
Please note we will not accept, register or process Call for Site information through the Phase 3 representation process.
Local Plan Call for Sites
This page displays the call for sites which have been submitted to the council since 2018 and also a Frequently Asked Questions document setting out what the call for sites is and is not.
The purpose of the ‘call for sites’ is to provide an opportunity for people to identify sites they think may have the potential for development (for housing and economic purposes) through the new Local Plan.
We have prepared some frequently asked questions (FAQs) to provide more information about what the ‘call for sites’ is, what it is not, and how it fits into the overall process of preparing the new Local Plan.
Please be aware that submission of a call for site and its display on the interactive map below does NOT infer that the council supports the site for allocation in its new Local Plan, or development through a planning application. Submitted sites will be subject to assessment and future consultation.
General Information
As part of the ongoing work on site assessments the council has updated the Call for Sites online map to reflect the latest information regarding site promotions. The changes reflect the following:
- mapping errors, corrections from site owners and promoters and new sites;
- updating information on sites where new information has been provided; and
- removing site which are no longer being actively promoted or supported by landowners
The site assessment work also known as the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) will be published at the next Local Plan consultation. For more information on when this will take, please see the Local Plan Delivery Programme.
It is not possible to make live updates to the map so the council has and will continue to make updates periodically. If you think something is wrong with a site or the supporting information shown on the map, please email planning.consultation@southglos.gov.uk and quote the site reference (SGXXX) so we can review the issue and add this to our log to be amended at the next update.
Call for Sites outside of consultation periods
Promoters wishing to submit call for sites outside of a formal consultation period or to submit additional technical information to support their existing call for sites should contact our Planning Policy Team using the details below.
We will confirm if we are able to accept the submission. If so, there will be a charge of £290 plus VAT.
One of the key aims of the new Local Plan will be to allocate sites for the new homes, jobs, infrastructure, services and facilities that will be needed in South Gloucestershire.

| Marking a consultation as relevant to a particular audience indicates that it may be of special relevance to people within that group. It doesn't, however, mean that other groups wont find the consultation of interest - we welcome responses from everybody.
For example, education issues may be of particular interest to Parents & Guardians, and so will be shown to people searching the system for parenting issues, but the views of others (eg: Business, Faith Groups) are also relevant. |
