Wakefield Council, as the local planning authority, is required to produce an Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) of its Local Development Framework (LDF) which assesses:

• progress in preparing Local Development Documents (LDDs) compared with the milestones set out in the approved Local Development Scheme (LDS), and what changes to the scheme may be needed; and
• the extent to which policies and related targets in LDDs are achieving their intended purposes and where policies may need to be reviewed.

AMRs are submitted to Government Office in December each year and report on the previous financial year.  The reports address a number of Core Output Indicators which are set out in Government guidance, and a number of local indicators, which together will show whether LDF policies are working as intended.

AMRs are available under 'Downloads'.
