It is a technical document prepared by officers of the constituent authorities. It covers the monitoring year 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010 and is the starting point for monitoring the implementation of the three constituent local planning authorities adopted local plans and the South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP). The AMR is arranged in two parts. Part A provides information and analysis at a South Worcestershire level, including overall conclusions and recommendations for future monitoring arrangements. Nationally set Core Output Indicators provide the measure and guide to local performance. Part B sets out information for each of the district/city authorities, which comprises data and analysis for local indicators (these are freestanding sections and are not summarised here). These indicators are drawn from the individual monitoring frameworks established in each authority as per their adopted local plans and Sustainability Appraisals. This local information will form Part B of the report. The monitoring year 2009/10 saw the continuation of economic recession. Although the impacts of this will take time to feed through into some indicators, it has had a marked impact on performance against housing and economic indicators. With regard to employment and housing targets South Worcestershire authorities are currently awaiting primary legislation in the form of the Localism Bill scheduled to begin its passage through Parliament from Christmas 2010, and if passed will return decision-making powers in housing and planning to local authorities. As it stands RSS remains part of the Development Plan for the local authorities across South Worcestershire but the weight afforded to it in the case of individual planning applications (and by Inspectors in the case of appeals), will need to be judged against the advice issued by Government and its Chief Planner. SOUTH WORCESTERSHIRE ANNUAL MONITORING REPORT 2010 5 Whilst in this transition phase it is difficult to know how planning and delivery work will facilitate a speedy recovery of the housing market when demand starts to pick up. It is also recognised that prospects for the housing market, and therefore the rate of house building in South Worcestershire, are uncertain. The AMR Appendices set out further technical information on housing issues. Part A is arranged in nine sections as shown on the contents page. Section 1 introduces the document. Section 2 explains the key requirements for annual monitoring reports such as the types of indicators, PPS12 requirements and the format for monitoring the objective led policies. Section 3 introduces the South Worcestershire area by providing a geographical and demographic context to the report. Section 4 considers progress on preparation of the Local Development Framework, which is the package of plans being prepared by the three constituent local planning authorities. Sections 5 to 9 set out progress against a range of indicators for the key policy areas of Development Strategy; Economy and Town Centres; Housing; Environmental Quality; and Infrastructure. Section 10 brings together a wide range of data to assess the effectiveness of the three authorities Local Development Frameworks (LDF) using a range of significant effect indicators. The following table provides a succinct summary of South Worcestershire authority’s performance against key indicators. The picture is mixed and the positives and negatives are addressed within the framework set out by the following key questions: - Overall Development Strategy – where is development happening? - Economy and town centres – is a jobs/homes balance being achieved? - Housing – are targets being met? - Environmental quality – is it improving?

A key factor has been the continuing economic recession. Although the impacts of this will take time to feed through into some indicators, it has had a marked impact on performance against housing indicators in particular. The concluding section illustrates the key issues and identifies implications for the South Worcestershire Development Plan and for the future approach to monitoring in South Worcestershire. Key points include: • The impact of the recession on housing completions • The need to review progress with employment targets and means of delivering them in order to • Achieve a better jobs/homes balance • The need to frame indicators in a clearer way and set targets where possible, in order for them to • Assess the implications the abolished WMRSS has on South Worcestershire’s monitoring framework • The need to rationalise and better resource the monitoring of policy effectiveness and policy impact across the three
