Decision details

This is the fourth Annual Monitoring Report for Cheshire East Council. Every local planning authority has to make an annual report containing information on the implementation of the Local Development Scheme and the extent to which the policies set out in local plans are being achieved. The Government has removed the requirement for local planning authorities to submit their annual monitoring report to the Government but has retained the overall duty to monitor. It is now a matter for each council to decide what to include in their monitoring report.

The Executive Summary to the Annual Monitoring Report is set out in Appendix 1 of the report; it gives the extent of development and progress throughout the Borough highlighting the main conclusions from each of the chapters. The full report is available on the Council’s web site:

That approval be given to the publication of the Annual Monitoring Report for 2011/12, to comply with the requirements of Section 35 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, as amended by the Localism Act 2011.
