Although not published until later the main work on the Central Lancashire SHLAA was carried out prior to the revocation of the North West Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) and therefore refers to RSS policies and housing targets. The Central Lancashire authorities are currently in the process of proposing local housing targets. The SHLAA will therefore be updated to remove references to the RSS and reflect local housing targets when these have been approved for publication within the joint Central Lancashire LDF Core Strategy.

The sites have been spilt into three categories and the maps which accompany this document show these sites using the following colours:
• Green – Suitable
• Orange – Suitable with policy restrictions
• Red – Unsuitable

The suitability of the sites for housing does not mean that a decision has been taken to identify these for actual housing development. This is a matter for the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Development Plan Documents to determine.
