Other monitoring and data
Local Development Scheme monitoring
Progress against the Local Development Scheme Authority Monitoring report
The Local Development Scheme (LDS), as required by The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended by the Planning Act 2008 and Localism Act 2011), is produced to inform the community and other partners of the development plan documents that are being prepared for the area and the envisaged timescales for their preparation.
It is also produced to establish the council’s priorities for the preparation of the development plan documents and their associated work programmes, including in relation to budgeting and resources. Part 8 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 contains the provision that an AMR must include details of each document referred to in the LDS, and the timetable and stage that each document has reached in its preparation.
These details can be found within the Progress against the Local Development Scheme AMR.

Duty-to-Cooperate monitoring
Duty-to-Cooperate Authority Monitoring report
National Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) states that: ‘Strategic policy-making authorities are required to cooperate with each other, and other bodies, when preparing, or supporting the preparation of policies which address strategic matters’. Once the Examination stage has been reached, local planning authorities (LPAs) must provide robust evidence of the efforts they have made to co-operate on strategic cross boundary matters in order to pass both a ‘legal’ and ‘soundness’ test. The Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 (as amended) (para. 34 (6)) require that AMRs give details of the actions the LPA has taken under the duty to co-operate. These details can be found within the duty to co-operate AMR.
