12.1 Regular and continuous monitoring and review are key aspects of the planning system and are necessary to ensure that the Site Allocations document is effective and responds to changing needs and circumstances.
12.2 Monitoring of the Site Allocations will be undertaken through the Annual Monitoring Report which will assist with the future review of local plan and related documents, including through review of the delivery of associated infrastructure such as improved transport and community facilities as set out in the Infrastructure Delivery Plan.
12.3 The purpose of the Site Allocations document is to deliver the Core Strategy. The Core Strategy has an extensive monitoring framework to assess the delivery of policies, and the Site Allocations document will be monitored against the monitoring indicators in the Core Strategy including those around housing delivery and employment and town centre floorspace completions.
12.4 In addition, progress on individual sites will be monitored against capacity and phasing information set out in the Site Allocations document.
12.5 The Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment Update (2010) includes measures that could be taken to 'unblock' sites not currently considered to be deliverable. These measures may include, for example, land assembly or infrastructure provision. Where market conditions affect the supply of land for new development and increase the supply of land, particularly in respect of increasing the supply of affordable housing.
12.6 To ensure effective and timely delivery of the Site Allocations, the Council will work with others including the Local Strategic Partnership, infrastructure providers, developers and landowners and local housing partnerships.
12.7 It is acknowledged that some changing conditions may be so significant so as to re quire a review of the Site Allocations document, for example through changes to the Development Plan and/or national policy. If this does become a requirement it will be highlighted through the Annual Monitoring Report.
