(Report of Cabinet Member for Planning and
Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health and
Housing)
 
The report outlined the Borough
Council’s latest Authority Monitoring Report (AMR) (attached
as Annex 1), which reviewed the effectiveness of the organisations
planning policies and helped to ensure that progress was being made
towards achieving the objectives as set out in the suite of Adopted
Development Plan documents.   The
AMR was a statistical document to help guide the direction of
travel for future corporate and planning policy.
 
Members noted that the AMR covered the
previous financial year due to the period for data collection and
reported on the period 2023/24.  The
last AMR was published by Tonbridge and Malling in 2017 and this
version sought to provide an up to date consideration of the
effectiveness of policies as well as progress in preparing planning
documents as set out in the Local Development Scheme and actions
taken in relation to the duty to cooperate.
 
Following consideration by the Housing and
Planning Scrutiny Select Committee, the Cabinet Member for Planning
RESOLVED that:
 

(1)            
the Authority Monitoring Report for the period 2023/24 be
endorsed;
 

(2)            
the Authority Monitoring Report for the period 2023/24 be approved
for publication by the end of December 2024.
