Its Headquarters were based in Queen’s Gardens, Bayswater, London; but it moved to Horse Guards, London SW1 by 1930. As one of the five Home Commands within the United Kingdom, it was a Lieutenant General (or General’s) command, who was the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief. This meant he had complete jurisdiction of all land forces within his command. Eastern Command in 1939 comprised the counties of Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex (except Purfleet and Rainham Rifle Range, and the Guards Barracks at Warley – when occupied by the Foot Guards – which all came under the London District), Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Middlesex, Kent, Sussex and Surrey (less the area within Aldershot Command).

  • Local Plan Committee 9 16 December 2014
    Item Local Plan Committee 9 16 December 2014 Report of Head of Commercial Services Author Chris Downes 01206 282476 Title Annual Monitoring Report Wards All affected The Local Plan Committee is asked to approve the Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) 1. Decision(s) Required 1.1 To approve the 2013-14 Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) for publication on the Council’s website. 2. Reasons for Decision(s) 2.1 Until the Localism Act came into effect in April 2012, Section 35 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act required that every local planning authority (LPA) should prepare and publicise an Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) containing information on the implementation of the Local Development Scheme (LDS) and the extent to which the policies set out in Local Development Documents (LDDs) and local plans are being achieved. The Localism Act removed the requirement for local authorities to submit their AMR to Government, but retained a duty for local authorities to monitor policies. The Council accordingly still needs to demonstrate the effects of its policies, and the format developed for previous AMRs is considered to remain appropriate for this purpose. 3. Alternative Options 3.1 There are no alternatives as the Council needs to provide an annual source of information on the delivery of its planning functions. 4. Supporting Information 4.1 The Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) provides key information that helps the Borough Council and its partners establish what is happening now within Colchester Borough, what may happen in the future and compare these trends against existing planning policies and targets to determine if any action needs to be taken.
