The Committee are asked to approve the contents of the Housing Annual Monitoring Report for publication on the Council’s website.

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.   An AMR, which concentrates on the performance of our local plan housing policies has been produced for 2015/16 and the 2016/17 AMR will provide a composite catch-up on all indicators.  The 2015/16 document meets the requirements set out in national planning policy for producing a housing delivery trajectory and five year housing land supply statement.  It also has an important role in informing the partial review of the Core Strategy.  The AMR also includes the Local Plan Programme agreed by this Committee in July 2016. 

The Committee noted the contents of the Housing Annual Monitoring Report 2015/16 and agreed to its publication on the Council’s website.

The Committee received the Housing Annual Monitoring Report 2015/2016 the main objective of which was to identify and maintain a rolling supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide five years’ worth of housing against housing requirements.  Members were informed that the report covered an historic reporting period and included sites that were anticipated to be developed at the time of the reporting period.  It was also noted that the CIL implications would be detailed in a separate report and a regulation 62 statement would come before the appropriate Committee when available.  It was agreed that Members would be informed when the information was published on the Epsom & Ewell website.

The Committee noted the contents of the Housing Annual Monitoring Report 2015/16 and agreed to its publication on the Council’s website, subject to the investigation of a discrepancy in paragraph 4.5 –the number of units for 2015/16 Lintons Centre.
