D7 Monitoring, Local Plan Review and Enforcement
- The Council will monitor the implementation of the Local Plan policies and infrastructure provision and report the results on an annual basis.
- The Council will deal with the enforcement of planning controls in accordance with the Council’s Local Enforcement Plan.
- The Council will complete a review of the Local Plan policies and publish its conclusions at least every five years. Conclusions from the first review will be published no later than five years from the adoption date of the Local Plan.
- The Council will have particular regard to the following factors when reviewing policies within the Local Plan and determining whether or not relevant policies require updating:
- the latest Authority Monitoring Report, including reported progress against the requirements for the planned delivery of development and infrastructure;
- conformity of policies with national planning policy;
- changes to local circumstances (including a change in local housing need);
- transport modal shift and the takeup of ultra low emission vehicles;
- appeals performance;
- significant local, regional or national economic changes; and
- progress in plan-making activities by other local authorities
- Where appropriate, the Council will commence an earlier review of the Local Plan to address significant changes in circumstances. The Council will promptly commence a review of the Local Plan and update relevant policies accordingly if:
- the Authority Monitoring Report demonstrates that annual housing delivery is less than 75% of the annualised requirement or the projected completion rate (whichever is the lower) for three consecutive years; or
- the Council cannot demonstrate a fiveyear supply of deliverable housing land against the requirements established through the Local Plan and Housing Implementation Strategy.
