    Item Page NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE JOINT PLANNING 6 1 of 10 COMMITTEE Date 25th APRIL 2019 Report HEAD OF NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE JOINT Originator PLANNING & DELIVERY UNIT Title AUTHORITIES’ MONITORING REPORT 2017/18 1. PURPOSE OF REPORT 1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide headlines from the 2017/18 Authorities’ Monitoring Report against key areas of the JCS. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 All local authorities are required to produce an Authorities’ Monitoring Report (AMR) and the North Northamptonshire Joint Planning & Delivery Unit (JPDU) has produced this on a joint basis for the North Northamptonshire (NN) authorities since 2009. The AMR contains information on the implementation of the Local Development Scheme (which sets out the timetable for the local development documents that the councils are producing) and the extent to which planning policies are, or are not, working. 2.2 This report provides headlines from the 2017/18 AMR in relation to Housing, Economy and Infrastructure. The full document will be published on the JPDU website imminently. 2.3 This will be the second AMR undertaken against the new monitoring framework in the 2016 Joint Core Strategy (JCS) (see JCS Table 9). The 2016/17 AMR in some ways acted as a baseline position for future AMRs as there were a number of new indicators that were not previously collated against in the Core Spatial Strategy (CSS)1. Now that this foundation has been set, the 2017/18 AMR data has something to be wholly compared with. Notwithstanding the above, the method of data collection for the information on housing and jobs numbers presented in this report has not changed since the CSS.

  • Update from the Leader of North Northamptonshire Council
    Leader’s Update Cllr Jason Smithers Leader of the Council 27th August 2021 Introduction and Welcome! I write this latest update as the summer holiday season starts to draw to a close and children prepare to go back to school. The last two weeks have been very emotional. We have all seen the distressing scenes on our televisions or tablet computers of women, men and children desperately looking to escape Kabul in Afghanistan and all the dangers that entails. I believe that we owe a debt of gratitude to the refugees from Afghanistan, many of whom have put their lives in danger to help our service personnel. There is more on this below. I also attended an emotive community event held on the Queensway estate in Wellingborough last Thursday evening. This was organised by Ravaun Jones, the founder of a community group set up following the tragic death of Dylan Holiday, who recently needlessly lost his life to knife crime in a park on the Queensway estate. I was moved by the strength of feeling in the community and by the determination and energy to come together to identify ways to gets knives off the streets. As I write this newsletter, I am preparing to meet with Rav and Peter Bone, MP to look at how we can work more closely with the community to help. If you have any thoughts or ideas to help tackle knife crime, or would like to get involved, then please do get in touch with me. I would be happy to share these ideas with the appropriate staff at the Council and also Ravaun and the community organisations involved.
