Annual Monitoring Reports


Tendring District Annual Monitoring Report

What is the Annual Monitoring Report?

The Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) is a document required by the Government that reports on the Council's performance against a set of national 'Core Output Indicators' and a set of self-determined 'Local Output Indicators'. It also reports on progress in the implementation of the Council's Local Development Scheme and the extent to which the policies set out in the Council's Local Plan (and subsequent Local Development Documents) are being successfully implemented. In December 2009, the Council published its 5th AMR, which relates to the 2008/2009 financial year (i.e. 1st April 2008 to 31st March 2009).

Why do we monitor?

Monitoring development trends and the types of development that has taken place is essential for local planning authorities to gauge what is happening now and what may happen in the future and then compare these trends against existing policies and targets to determine whether adjustments to policies need to be made.
Monitoring has become an increasingly important aspect of evidence-based plan-making, which should adopt a positive, future orientated approach. This will help local planning authorities to understand the wider social, environmental and economic issues affecting their areas and the key drivers of 'spatial change'.

What do we monitor?

The AMR monitors the amount of housing development and business/town centre development that has taken place in the district. It also monitors any change in the quality of the environment as well as progress on the preparation of the Local Development Framework.
