Annual Monitoring Report (AMR)

What is the Annual Monitoring Report?

The Annual Monitoring Report is a document which is produced by the Council each December, looking back at the previous financial year, from 1 April to 31 March.

The AMR measures various indicators to assess the performance of the individual planning policies set out in the adopted development plan but also to provide a general portrait of the social, economic and environmental conditions in the district and the wider affects of the LDF on the district. The different indicators used in the AMR can be grouped into three categories. Contextual indicators are those that together provide a general portrait of the social, economic and environmental conditions in the district against which planning policies operate. Output indicators include both core output indicators and local output indicators, and provide detailed analysis on how the Council's adopted planning policies have performed. Core output indicators are set by central government and local output indicators are set by the Council. Significant effect indicators are those indicators based on the objectives set out in the Council's Sustainability Appraisal reports, and look at the wider effects of the LDF on the district.

The AMR also assesses the Council's progress in producing its Local Development Framework documents against the timetable set out in the Local Development Scheme.


Statement of Housing Land Supply

The information contained in this document has been superseded by that published in the Annual Monitoring Report 2008-2009 (available to download above).

In September 2007, the Council published a document setting out the current situation within South Cambridgeshire with regard to the supply of housing land. This details both the number of houses built between 1 April 2006 and 31 March 2007 and also the number of houses expected to be built in the coming years. Contained within the document is a housing trajectory, which shows the anticipated rate of house building in the District up to 2016, based on information collected in July - August 2007.
