Issue - meetings

            The Board considered a report of the Operational Director - Policy, Planning and Transport, that presented the initial findings from the annual monitoring of housing and employment development against Delivery and Allocations Local Plan (DALP) targets.

            The Plan sets out a number of development targets for the provision of housing and the supply of land for employment and retail development including:

·         Housing = 8,050 net dwelling gain at an average of 350 per annum; and

·         Employment = 180 hectares to be made available.

            The annual monitoring of granted planning permissions and construction starts and completions (April-March) had been completed and this report presented some of the interim findings together with some updated demographic projections (Appendix A).

            RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
