the borough for the period from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018. The purpose of the AMR is to monitor progress with the production of planning policy documents and consider the effectiveness of the council’s planning policies against relevant performance indicators. This is the second report to be published since the adoption of the Basingstoke and Deane Borough Local Plan 1996-2011. The performance of the neighbourhood plans adopted in 2016-17 in Oakley, Overton and Bramley is set out in shorter monitoring reports which form an appendix to the main report. These plans have been monitored in conjunction with the relevant parish councils and the reports reflect an agreed position between BDBC and the parish councils. Progress with planning documents Over the monitoring year, neighbourhood plans were made (adopted) for the parishes of Sherborne St John, Sherfield on Loddon, St Mary Bourne and Whitchurch over the monitoring period. These neighbourhood plans now form part of the development plan and inform planning decisions in those parishes. Progress continues to be made on other neighbourhood plans across the borough, with new neighbourhood plan areas designated in Ashford Hill and Headley, Burghclere, and Pamber during the monitoring year. The East of Basingstoke and Redlands Development Brief and the Kingsclere Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan were adopted as Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) during the monitoring year. Notable progress was made on other SPDs relating
