Authority Monitoring Report

The AMR is published each year and forms part of the Local Plan. The Authority Monitoring Report 2022/23 (PDF, 2.8MB) has now been published. The purpose of the report is to:

• provide a profile of the borough, with information and key trends
• identify the effects of planning policies on social, environmental and economic outputs
• help determine the extent to which objectives, targets and programmes are being met
• inform and guide future plans and policies
• monitor the extent to which the timetable set out in the Local Development Scheme is being met.

The results of the AMR will have a direct input into the preparation of the Local Plan and the periodic revision of the LDS . Authority Monitoring Reports from previous years are also available for information.

Minerals

Minerals information is included with the AMR above. A Local Aggregates Assessment is also carried out each year to monitor the demand and supply of aggregates (sand, gravel and hard rock).
