Annual Monitoring Reports

The Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) assesses the implementation of the Local Development Scheme (LDS) and the extent to which policies in the Adopted Stroud District Local Plan and any subsequent Local Development Documents are being successfully implemented.

Monitoring is becoming an increasingly important aspect of policy making. ODPM guidance states that Local Development Framework (LDF) monitoring should adopt a positive, future orientated approach by identifying the key challenges, opportunities and possible ways forward for revising and adjusting spatial planning policies.

According to section 35 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. Local Planning Regulation 48 and SEA Regulation 17, authorities must undertake five key monitoring tasks. Within the AMR they are required to:

• Review actual progress in terms of local development document preparation against the timescale and milestones in the local development scheme.
• Assess the extent to which policies in local development documents are being implemented.
• Where policies are not being implemented, explain why and to set out what steps are taken to ensure that the policy is implemented, or whether the policy is to be amended or replaced.
• Identify the significant effects of implementing policies in local development documents and whether they are as intended.
• Set out whether policies are to be amended or replaced.

5 Year Housing Supply

The Council is one of the 50 studied by Addison Associates on behalf of DCLG. We were asked to set out our 5 year land supply methodology following the provisional awards of Housing and Planning Delivery Grant. The document ‘justifying’ our approach can found below. On the basis of this the Council received HPDG in recognition of having a 5 year land supply.
