Minutes:
The Local Plan Annual Monitoring report (AMR) assesses the performance of adopted planning policies and tracks the Council’s progress against the Local Plan Programme.
The Committee received and discussed the Annual Monitoring report for 2016/17 and the following points were made:
· With regard to housing mix, the analysis refers to a reason for not meeting the Council’s Development Management Policy DM 22 as being in part due to that ‘market signals’ had indicated the need for delivering smaller units in contrast to the demand for 3 bed units detailed on the Council’s policy. The discrepancy was noted and the Committee was assured that housing mix would continue to be a closely monitored aspect of the Local Plan.
· It was highlighted that meeting the Borough Council’s parking standards (through new development) remained a sensitive issue. It was noted that procedures to monitor compliance would be set-up.
· It was agreed that cycle access for all new developments was becoming increasingly important because of the growing lack of capacity on the highway network.
It was also agreed to investigate the points below and make appropriate amendments:
