1 7.0 monitoring ANd review Introduction 7.1. The Ldp is intended to be a flexible document, capable of responding to changing needs and circumstances regionally and locally. Therefore, it is important that there are adequate processes to monitor and manage the implementation of the Ldp policies and whether the objectives of the plan Strategy are being achieved and whether changes need to be made to the policies and proposals much of the implementation of the plan Strategy will be through the determination of planning applications. In some cases, it may be necessary to use additional mechanisms in order to ensure that the plan objectives are achieved. These mechanisms may include planning agreements, developer contributions and financial guarantees (Appendix 8). It is also recognised that the Council does not have responsibility for certain key functions such as transport, water and sewerage infrastructure and regeneration powers which fall to other service providers including government departments The planning Act 2011 requires local authorities to submit a monitoring report to the department on an annual basis. monitoring is the process of collecting, collating and presenting information on those matters that are seen as important measures of change in the Council area. The Council s Annual monitoring report (Amr) will therefore provide information on the status of housing land supply, the number of net additional housing units built in both urban and rural areas, the supply of economic development land and other issues relevant to the implementation of the local development plan. The Amr will provide a basis for any future review, be it minor changes or a more comprehensive review, of the Local development plan s policies and proposals. It will be of particular importance to housing issues and will allow the phasing of housing sites to be reviewed during the life of the plan The two procedures of monitoring and review are therefore vital if the policies and proposals are to remain relevant to the Council area s needs The Amr will include a monitoring framework to assess whether the Ldp policies are being implemented as intended. This monitoring framework will align the Ldp policies with the planning objectives set in the Ldp and the Sustainability Appraisal. The effectiveness of the policies will be assessed against a range of indicators and targets. 177

2 7.6. Wherever possible, the indictors and targets have been chosen to be SmArT, i.e. Specific, measurable, Achievable, realistic and Timely. Where targets are not met, the Amr will seek to identify actions that the Council may take to address the issues. This could include formal review and amendments to the policies and strategies. depending on the size and scale of the revision, it may result in a replacement of the full Ldp (In the case of a more minor change to the Local policies plan, the Local policies plan can only be altered where it remains consistent with the plan Strategy). The following tables provide an outline of how the Ldp policies will be monitored. The Amr will be flexible to include new indicators for better monitoring where new data and information becomes available The following policies of the plan will therefore be monitored via the key indicators set out in Table 7, and which are further explained in Table 8, below: - Table 7 - Monitoring Indicators ID Indicator Development and Design 1 Length of new foot paths and cycle paths created 2 Length of rights of way and permissive paths lost through redevelopment 3 New green and blue infrastructure created within new development Housing in settlement and countryside 4 New dwellings approved across the settlement hierarchy and in the countryside and by land type (e.g. greenfield, brownfield, zoned, whiteland) 5 housing Completions across the settlement hierarchy and in the countryside and by land type (e.g. greenfield, brownfield, zoned, whiteland) 6 Five year supply of land for housing 7 mix of housing units completed by house type and number of bedrooms 8 Affordable housing completions and need 9 Traveller schemes completions and need Community Facilities 10 New facilities created and existing facilities lost to redevelopment Open Space and Recreation 11 Open space lost to redevelopment and created as an integral part of new residential development 12 Sports facilities, open space/recreation land lost to redevelopment and new facilities/open space created 13 Number of access points created along the shores of loughs 14 Number of new riverside Walks created 178

6 4 New dwellings approved across the settlement hierarchy and in the countryside and by land type To ensure that the location of new residential development aligns with the overall aim of sustainable and balanced pattern of development across the district with the focus for growth in the main towns, while sustaining the roles of local towns and smaller settlements. To ensure that the priority for new dwellings is brownfield sites within the Urban Footprint of Omagh and enniskillen. To monitor the level of new dwellings which are windfall. Over time this monitoring will help to determine if the strategic approach to housing delivery is effective. Where planning applications are considered in the countryside this will include analysis of policy from housing in Countryside and so as to ensure that these policies are robust in delivering appropriate level of housing in the countryside.

There should be a notable reduction in the level of permission for greenfield sites within settlements prior to the introduction of these policies. Source 183

8 5 Housing Completions across the settlement hierarchy and in the countryside and by land type To ensure that the location of new residential development aligns with the overall aim of sustainable and balanced pattern of development across the district with the focus for growth in the main towns, while sustaining the roles of local towns and smaller settlements. To monitor overall completions against the future housing need trajectory over the remainder of the plan period. by monitoring the rate of housing completions overtime we can identify if there is any change to the rate and location of completions compared to previous policies.

As such, the target should be to see a shift towards this spatial distribution over time. Document/ FOdC Annual housing monitor Source LpS housing Starts and Completions data 185

10 6 Five year supply of land for housing In line with a plan, monitor, manage approach to ensure that a minimum of a 5 year supply of land for housing is maintained within settlements. This will be on an annual rolling basis where account is taken on housing completions over the previous year. To assess if the commitments (extant planning permission)/phase 1 sites are delivering sufficient housing and that the level of houses that these sites could deliver exceeds the future housing need. If this is not the case this could lead to the release of phase 2 sites before To assess that there has been no significant change in the future housing need for the district.

12 8 Affordable housing completions and needs To identify the need for affordable housing, including tenure and unit size, across the settlements. To establish if any identified need for affordable housing is being met by the application of policy.
