5 Monitoring Indicators

Introduction

5.1 The Council is required to monitor a suite of Core Output Indicators laid down by the Government. These are set out in the guidance issued by the ODPM 'Local Development Framework Monitoring: A good practice guide' (2005), and its update 'Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) - FAQs and Seminar Feedback on Emerging Best Practice 2004/05' (ODPM September 2005). Information on each of the topics set by guidance is required and the indicators are to be collected on a consistent time frame across the country using a clearly identified set of definitions to allow meaningful analysis. The Council's response to these indicators is set out in the section 'Core Output Indicators'. Where it has not been possible to provide information, reasons are given and monitoring will be put in place to ensure that information is available for future AMRs.

5.2 A number of indicators are not monitored to any extent by the Council, but it is clear that the Government requires this information to be provided in the future. Putting this monitoring framework into place will cause additional delays in document production for the LDF, but it is accepted that this work is essential if the Council is to demonstrate that sustainable development is being rolled out across the District.

Contextual Indicators

5.3 It is considered necessary to set up contextual indicators for the District, beyond those required by the Government. These will allow a profile of the District to be established which will be used as a basis for assessing in more detail the delivery of sustainable development within the District. As a result it is likely that in future AMRs the section on contextual indicators will be expanded to demonstrate in more detail the sustainability implications of the Replacement Calderdale UDP (2006) and then documents within the Local Development Framework.

Core Output Indicators (Required by Regulations)

  • The following table sets out the Council's response for the year 2006/2007 to the Core Indicators required to be monitored by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG - formerly the ODPM). Not all the Indicators can adequately be assessed, given the monitoring framework that exists in Calderdale. However, where difficulties are known to exist these are explained within the text and efforts will be made to ensure that relevant entries can be achieved in future Annual Monitoring Reports.

Core CI - 2Ai Net additional dwellings over the previous 5 year period, or since the start of the relevant development plan document period, whichever is the longer

1318


 Figure is gross. No reliable data on losses.

TRANSPORT
Core CI - 3A Amount of completed non-residential development complying with car-parking standards set out in the Local Development Framework

Use Classes Order
Gross internal floorspace sq.m  
  • Class A

Not possible to say
 
  • Class B
 
  • Class D
Note Core CI - 3A - Car Parking Standards : - The Local Development Framework has yet to be established. For the year in question (2005/06) the 'Saved Plan' was the Calderdale UDP dating from 1997. This contained Minimum Parking Requirements, and so was not in line with the Maximum Allowances guidance introduced by PPG13. As a result it is not meaningful to provide details against this Indicator.

Detailed monitoring of Car Parking provision against these Minimum Requirements has not been undertaken as a matter of course. However it will be necessary to monitor provision in order to meet requirements for the AMR against the Maximum Parking Allowances laid down within the Replacement Calderdale UDP (2006). This monitoring will be developed as part of the AMR report for future years.
Core CI - 3B Percentage of new residential development within 30 minutes public transport time of : -

Note: The Accession Model, which was purchased by the Council during 2006/07 has experienced technical difficulties during set up. Along with 70% of Local Authorities this Council is utilising Corporate GIS concepts. The Council holds Ordnance Survey data once and does not have a separate holding for every 3rd party application. The Accession Model has difficulties integrating with this approach which have yet to be overcome. The Council is in liaison with with Accession support, but have not yet found a resolution. This is an active project, but it has not been possible to present the results required for the current AMR year.
