Bury Council is required to monitor the effectiveness of planning policies and assess how we are performing against the timescales set in the Local Development Scheme.
We will produce an Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) every December to cover the previous year from 1 April to 31 March.
These Annual Monitoring Reports will assess:
- the impact of policies in terms of significant social, environmental and economic effects, with a particular focus on sustainability;
- whether local, regional, and national policies and targets are being met;
- whether local policies are not working as intended, or need changing to reflect national or regional policy;
- the actions that need to be taken if any policies need to be changed; and
- whether the timetable for the preparation of local development documents is being met.
The report is available for inspection at the Council's Planning Division offices at Craig House, on the website, and printed copies will be supplied upon request.
