Report DRR14/045

Members were requested to endorse Appendix 1 as the Council’s Authority Monitoring Report (AMR) for 2012/13 which, as required under the Localism Act 2011 (Section 13), contained information on the plan making process, the progress and effectiveness of the Local Plan and the extent to which the planning policies set out in the Local Plan documents were being achieved.

The Chairman informed the meeting that the Council was required to publish monitoring reports on an annual basis.  He was pleased to note that the Council was achieving the objectives set out in planning policies and was on track with development of The Local Plan.

Having enquired how climate change in Bromley was addressed (paragraph 3.3 on page 79 of the report), Councillor Ince was informed that this was achieved through the design of individual buildings.

Councillor Fawthrop was pleased to note that the number of homes built in the period 2012-2013 exceeded the London Plan target of 500 units. 

RESOLVED that Appendix 1 , in light of the Council’s duty under the Localism Act 2011, be agreed as the Council’s AMR for 2012/13.
