Annual Monitoring Report

What is the AMR?

Under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, the Council is required to produce an Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) at the end of each year. The AMR is the main mechanism for assessing both the performance, and the effects of, the Local Development Framework. Annual monitoring will provide a comprehensive evidence base against which local development document policies and implementation mechanisms can be assessed.

In accordance with PPS12: Local Develoment Frameworks, the AMR "includes an assessment of:

  • whether policies and related targets or milestones in local development documents (LDD's) have been met or progress is being made towards meeting them; or
  • where they are not being met or not on track to being achieved, the reasons why;
  • what impacts the policies are having in respect of national, regional and local policy targets and any other targets identified in LDD's;
  • whether the policies in an LDD need adjusting or replacing because they are not working as intended;
  • whether the policies need changing to reflect changes in national or regional policy; and
  • if policies or proposals need changing, the actions needed to achieve this." (para 4.48, PPS12)

 

Current Status of the AMR

The latest AMR to be published in December 2007, monitoring the period 1st April 2006 to 31st March 2007, is the third AMR to be produced by Pendle under the new planning system. As the majority of the policy documents that will eventually form the new Pendle Local Development Framework have yet to be produced, all current AMRs focus on the existing 'saved' policies from the Replacement Pendle Local Plan (2001-2016).

 

Previous work stages

Two AMRs have been published previous to the 2007 report and are avilable to download below.
