Cabinet considered the annual Authority Monitoring Report and draft five-year housing supply statement.
Local authorities are required to update annually a supply of deliverable sites sufficient to provide five years’ worth of housing against their housing requirements. The Report monitors key issues using selected indicators, relating them to the saved Local Plan policies, the policies in the adopted Core Strategy and Policies DPD and progress on the implementation of sites in the Allocations DPD.
The Authority Monitoring Report was considered by the Local Plan Working Party at its meeting on 18 September 2018 and recommended to Cabinet for publication together with the statement of five-year housing land supply.
However, due to the need to include and update some of the base data informing housing trajectory and the five-year statement, Cabinet deferred consideration of these documents until this meeting. This data had now been incorporated in the documents.
Resolved to agree to publish the Authority Monitoring Report together with the draft Statement of five year housing supply.
