Monitoring, Reporting and Registers

The Authority Monitoring Report (AMR) provides a snapshot of planning performance.

The government has set out its commitment to provide one million more homes and grant planning permission on 90% of suitable brownfield sites for housing by 2020.

The Housing Delivery Test (HDT) was introduced by Government as a way of monitoring whether a local planning authority is building enough homes to meet their housing requirement.

Self-build is where an individual or a group of individuals purchase a plot of land to build a house to live in. Most of the work or the management of the construction is realised by the future owner.
