Issue details

The Government requires an Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) to be prepared to show if Local Development Frameworks (LDFs) are achieving their aims and delivering sustainable development. Its purpose is to report on both the performance of specific planning policies and a summary of progress against milestones set out for the preparation of Local Development Documents identified as part of the Local Development Scheme. Following this, Government advice promotes the need for local authorities to review planning policies through the LDF process where appropriate.
