Authority Monitoring Report (AMR)

Local Planning Authorities are required, under Section 113 of the Localism Act 2011, to produce an annual AMR. The AMR monitors:

• Implementation of the Local Development Scheme.
• The progress and effectiveness of the council's Local Plan (adopted in May 2016).
• The extent to which the planning policies set out in the borough’s Local Plan and made neighbourhood plans are being achieved.

Current status of the AMR

The 2025 AMR, published in December 2025, for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 is available to download below.

The 2025 AMR also monitors fifteen of the borough's made neighbourhood plans and these monitoring reports can be viewed in Appendix 5.

The AMR can be read alongside the Borough Council’s Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) which details what has been received in terms of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and through planning obligations (S106 agreements) for each year. The IFS, which is also published annually, also details what infrastructure has been delivered as well as CIL income. Read more details about the IFS.
