(Report of the Director of Planning, Housing
and Environmental Health)
 
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 achieved 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 2024/25.  The
last AMR was published by Tonbridge and Malling in 2024 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
