Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) 2007

This is Wychavon District Council’s (WDC) third Annual Monitoring Report (AMR)  (2.70 MB) and forms a critical part of the Local Development Framework (LDF).

Under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 it is a statutory requirement to produce an AMR on an annual basis as part of the ‘plan, monitor and manage’ process. In accordance with this, an AMR will be produced every December and submitted to the West Midlands Government Office by the 31st December.

This year the AMR reports on the on the performance of policies from 1st April 2006 – 31st March 2007 and considers policies set out in the Wychavon District Council Local Plan (adopted June 2006), as this is the plan that held the most weight during the monitoring period. The document assesses:

• (a) the progress against Local Development Scheme (LDS) milestones; and
• (b) the extent to which policies in Local Development Documents are being successfully implemented.

The Document is an essential tool for highlighting the performance of policies and identifying whether they are delivering sustainable development and having the positive and intended effect. Where policies are not being implemented effectively steps can be put in place to improve implementation and amend or replace policies.
