Agenda item

At Planning Committee on 1^st December 2011, it was resolved that the potential reporting options to produce and publish future monitoring reports be presented at a future Planning Committee.

Members were reminded that as a result of the Localism Act 2011, although there was no longer a requirement to submit an Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) to the Secretary of State, there was still a statutory duty to produce reports and make them available on the website for members of the community.

As a result the Council now had more flexibility to decide what it monitored, taking into account what would be most useful to Members and what was likely to be of most interest to the public.

Members were advised of topics and indicators likely to be included for future reporting.

Resolved - That the future arrangements for planning monitoring be noted.
