Under Regulation 34 and 35 of The Town and
Country (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 local planning
authorities must make monitoring information available for
inspection as soon as possible after the information becomes
available. The Monitoring Report covers the previous financial year
that is 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020. In terms of housing land
supply, the Monitoring Report also presents the position as at 1
April 2020. Oldham’s Monitoring Report is attached as
Appendix 1.
In line with the Regulations the Monitoring Report provides details
on whether the council is meeting the milestones set out in the
Local Development Scheme (LDS) for preparing the various Local Plan
documents. Performance is monitored against the LDS that was in
place at the start of the monitoring period. The Monitoring Report
also monitors a range of planning indicators, such as housing,
employment and biodiversity, which seek to assess the effectiveness
of the council’s land-use planning policies, and whether they
are achieving their objectives and delivering sustainable
development. This is our 16th Monitoring Report.
