Annual monitoring report

The Annual Monitoring Report is one of a number of documents required to be included in the Local Development Framework Development Plan Documents.

It is submitted to Government by a local planning authority at the end of December each year to asses the progress and the effectiveness of a Local Development Framework

The Annual Monitoring Report will assess:

• Are policies achieving their objectives and is sustainable development being delivered?
• Have policies has intended consequences
• Are the assumptions and objectives behind policies still relevant?
• Are the targets set in the Local Development Framework being achieved?

To achieve this goal the Annual Monitoring Report will include a range of local and standard (Core Output) indicators. It should also highlight if any adjustments to the Local Development Scheme are required.
