The Committee received the Authority Monitoring Report (AMR). A factual report that has two purposes; to monitor progress towards new Local Development Documents and to monitor the effectiveness of key policies set out in Local Development Documents.  

The following matters were considered:

a)            Scale Developments. A Member of the Committee commented that it was encouraging to read that last year the Council delivered its highest number of housing for roughly ten years, in particular delivering more affordable housing units, largely due to a number of scale developments. The Member went on to state that when talking about the local plan, it's a useful lesson because permission was given for development at scale, and therefore, more housing was delivered, and it showed that it is possible to insist on developers putting affordable housing and ensuring they deliver on it.

Following consideration, the Committee unanimously resolved to:

(1)      Note the content of AMR and agree to it being published.
