Rother District Council

The Rother District Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) fulfils a requirement of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and associated Regulations to produce an annual report to monitor and review planning policies.

The AMR is crucial to the successful delivery of the Council's Local Development Framework. Also, a systematic and dynamic monitoring system helps understand the wider social, environmental and economic issues affecting their areas and the key drivers of spatial change. The findings should feed directly into any review of policy that may be required. Although the Localism Bill proposes the removal of the requirement for local planning authorities to produce an annual monitoring report for Government, it still retains the overall duty to monitor.

The Assessment of Housing Land Supply identifies the extent to which existing plans fulfil the requirement to maintain a rolling five year supply of deliverable land. The Assessment is available to download from the Housing Land Monitoring page.

Scope

Progress in policy implementation is measured against a number of monitoring indicators that reflect the particular local issues and priorities for the District. This report also includes a number of 'Quality of Life' indicators which together indicate the overall quality of life for those living in Rother.
