Monitoring and Land Availability

Monitoring is important to understand the effectiveness of policies of the Local Plan. The progress of the Local Plan and the effectiveness of the policies within it are monitored through the following documents.

Authority Monitoring Report

We produce an Authority Monitoring Report to monitor the Local Plan. The Report contains information about the how the Local Development Scheme is being implemented including whether the milestones in the Scheme are being achieved. The Report monitors the performance and effects of Local Plan policies and covers the period from 1 April to 31 March each year.

Residential Land Availability

The Residential Land Availability is produced on an annual basis and monitors the number of local plan allocations and planning permissions for residential homes around the District, as well as those under construction and completed. The information is used to inform the Authority Monitoring Report, as well as to calculate the five-year supply of housing within the District.

Employment Land Availability

The Employment Land Availability is produced on an annual basis and lists employment sites which are allocated for employment uses in the adopted Blaby District Local Plan or have planning permission, and where development has started or has been completed since the previous survey. This document also lists any significant losses of employment land to other land uses.
