Approval for Publication (recommendation to follow).

The Annual Monitoring Report was approved for publication as recommended by the Cabinet Planning and Parking Panel and the Head of Planning was given delegated powers to agree any minor alterations to finalise the report following consultation with the Executive Member (Environment and Planning).

Recommendation from the meeting of the Cabinet Planning and Parking Panel on 7 February 2019 on the approval of publication of the Local Plan Annual Monitoring Report.

The Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) served a number of objectives, including reporting on the amount of development that had taken place in the Borough during the year and assessing whether this development met targets across a number of indicators, as well as setting out expectations for future development in the Borough.  In addition, it also reported on progress against the Local Development Scheme which set out when and how the Council would produce new planning documents and polices and included progress on the Council’s efforts under ‘the duty to co-operate with other public authorities.

The 2017/18 AMR covered the period from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018 and whilst the AMR might also refer to development and changes since 31 March 2018, the 2018/19 AMR would report on these in more detail.

RESOLVED:

That the Annual Monitoring Report be approved for publication, as recommended by the Cabinet Planning and Parking Panel and that the Head of Planning be given delegated powers to agree any minor alterations to finalise the AMR, following consultation with the Executive Member (Environment and Planning).
