In the town planning system in England and Wales, the Annual Monitoring Report is one of a number of documents required to be included in the Local Development Framework Development Plan Documents.
It is submitted to Government via the Regional Government office by a local planning authority at the end of December each year to assess the progress and the effectiveness of a Local Development Framework
Annual Monitoring Reports assess:
- Are policies achieving their objectives, and is sustainable development being delivered?
- Have policies had the intended consequences?
- Are the assumptions and objectives behind policies still relevant?
- Are the targets set in the Local Development Framework being achieved?
To achieve this goal the Annual Monitoring Report includes a range of local and standard (Core Output) indicators.

Famous quotes containing the words annual and/or report:
“I would not have every man nor every part of a man cultivated, any more than I would have every acre of earth cultivated: part will be tillage, but the greater part will be meadow and forest, not only serving an immediate use, but preparing a mould against a distant future, by the annual decay of the vegetation which it supports.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The report reflects incredibly terrible judgments, shockingly sparse concern for human life, instances of officials lacking the courage to exercise the responsibilities of their high office and some very bewildering thought processes.”
—Jane Jarrell Smith, U.S. widow of American astronaut Michael J. Smith. As quoted in Newsweek magazine, p. 13 (June 30, 1986)
