(Report of Cabinet Member for Planning and Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health and Housing)
The report outlined the Borough Council’s latest Authority Monitoring Report (AMR) (attached as Annex 1), which reviewed the effectiveness of the organisations planning policies and helped to ensure that progress was being made towards achieving the objectives as set out in the suite of Adopted Development Plan documents. The AMR was a statistical document to help guide the direction of travel for future corporate and planning policy.
Members noted that the AMR covered the previous financial year due to the period for data collection and reported on the period 2023/24. The last AMR was published by Tonbridge and Malling in 2017 and this version sought to provide an up to date consideration of the effectiveness of policies as well as progress in preparing planning documents as set out in the Local Development Scheme and actions taken in relation to the duty to cooperate.
Following consideration by the Housing and Planning Scrutiny Select Committee, the Cabinet Member for Planning RESOLVED that:
(1) the Authority Monitoring Report for the period 2023/24 be endorsed;
(2) the Authority Monitoring Report for the period 2023/24 be approved for publication by the end of December 2024.
