25/02/2021 - Annual Monitoring Report 2019/20 ref: 4170    Recommendations Approved

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.
