Monitoring

Authority Monitoring Reports (AMR)

We are required to monitor the effectiveness of our plans and strategies and update our work programme on a regular basis. We do this by conducting site surveys of housing and commercial construction at the end of each monitoring period in April, and publishing the results in the Authority Monitoring Report (AMR).

The Authority Monitoring Report (AMR):

• Sets out our progress against the Local Development Scheme (LDS), which details when and how we will produce new planning documents and policies
• Provides a record of how the district is performing and how much development is taking place
• Assesses how that meets our targets
• Sets out projections for future development in the district
• Is updated annually

The Housing Delivery Action Plan reviews the issues and causes of low levels of housing delivery in the District as measured against the Governments' Housing Delivery Test and sets out a series of initiatives the Council is undertaking to address the issue.
