Draft Core Strategy (incorporating Preferred Options) October 2010
Draft Core Strategy (incorporating Preferred Options)
13 Implementation and Monitoring
13.1 This section sets out the key objectives to be achieved in line with each of the 9 Strategic Objectives, together with the indicators for monitoring the implementation of the plan. The list of relevant indicators is a full one and preferred indicators will be identified from analysis in order to provide concise monitoring in a resource effective way. A more refined list will be prepared for the Publication Plan for submission for examination.
13.2 Monitoring and Review are key components of the planning system. Local Development Frameworks (LDFs) need to be continually reviewed and revised, partly to be able to assess the success of the Local Development Document (LDD) and partly to ensure the components of the framework are updated to reflect changing circumstances nationally, regionally and locally. The Annual Monitoring Report (AMR)[1] will be the principal mechanism for monitoring the Core Strategy and other documents in the LDF, bringing together all the necessary information in one place.
13.3 Within the context of the AMR will be a report identifying the ability to provide a 5 Year Housing Land Supply, a key factor in the potential ability of the Core Strategy to delivery growth. This will be based upon the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment, which identifies land that is suitable, available and viable for housing development and will be updated on an annual basis.
13.4 Implementation of the policies contained in the Core Strategy will require action by a range of public, private and voluntary sector bodies working in partnership. In particular, parish and town councils, voluntary and community groups, local businesses and public sector agencies that work actively in our communities. The Council works with a wide range of partners, both statutory and non-statutory. It is anticipated that the partnerships that are formed will vary throughout the period of the Core Strategy.
13.5 The Core Strategy's role is to provide a clear and robust framework for development in order that investment and action can be co-ordinated and geared to efficient and effective delivery. The need to monitor comes from the requirement to check that the plan is being successfully implemented and that the outcomes are as intended.
