5 Annual Monitoring Report
5.1 The Annual Monitoring Report has to be submitted to the Secretary of State through the Government Office for Yorkshire and the Humber in December each year. The first AMR assessed the implementation of this first LDS, and in particular, the extent to which the policies in the local development documents were being achieved. In terms of policy content, it, as far as is practicable, established data on a range of indicators that are needed to monitor policies. On the progress monitoring of local development documents, the first report referred to the first LDS and the milestones contained within it.
5.2 The Council will therefore provide an indication of the progress made and whether or not the Council is on track to meet the targets for Local Development Document formulation. It will also indicate what impact LDD policies are having on national, regional and local targets.
5.3 The Annual Monitoring Report will indicate whether additional LDDs are needed or whether existing ones need to be deleted. It will give reasons for the changes.
5.4 The Second Annual Monitoring Report was submitted to the Government Office for Yorkshire & the Humber in December 2006, and is available for viewing:- Annual Monitoring Report
