Annual Monitoring Reports (AMR. 4.2.1 The 2005 Regulations require that LPA must produce and publish its annual monitoring report (AMR) on its website and submit it to Welsh Government on or before a specific date. The Regulations continue that any policy included in a LDP and which is not being implemented must be identified and the AMR must contain a statement indicating: • The reasons why the policy is not being implemented; • The steps intended to be taken by the LPA to secure the policy’s implementation; and • Whether it is intended to prepare a revised version of the LDP to replace or amend that policy. Additionally, the AMR must specify: • The housing supply land taken from the current Housing Land Availability Study; and • The number (if any) of net additional affordable and general market dwellings built in the LPA’s area. The latter requirements must be for the period in respect of which the report is made and the period since the LPA was first adopted. The LDP Manual states that monitoring is a continuous process and does not cease upon a plan’s adoption. As such, monitoring and review should be an ongoing function which underlies evidence-based policy making.
