Issue - items at meetings - Planning Policy Annual Monitoring Reports for Publication

Report of Councillor S Pickering, Portfolio Holder for Environment and Place

RESOLVED

1. Cabinet noted the contents of the Annual Monitoring Reports for the 2024-2025 monitoring period and approve their publication on the Council’s website.

REASONS FOR DECISION

This report sets out the key findings of the 2024-2025 Authority Monitoring Report, Brownfield Land Register Update and Infrastructure Funding Statement. This enables the Council to understand the effectiveness of its policies and trends over time. Publication of these documents on the Council’s website will fulfil the Council’s statutory duties to prepare and publish the required annual monitoring datasets.

OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED

The Council has a statutory duty to prepare these documents and there is no reasonable alternative.

This was not a Key Decision and so can be implemented with immediate effect by officers.

Cabinet received a report which informed Members of the key findings of the annual monitoring reports:

Authority Monitoring Report: 1st April 2024 – 31st March 2025 (AMR)
Brownfield Land Register: 2025 Update (BLR)
Infrastructure Funding Statement: 1st April 2024 – 31st March 2025 (IFS)

The report set out the key findings of each monitoring report and sought approval for the publication of the documents on the Council’s website to fulfil the Council’s statutory duties to prepare and publish monitoring data.
