Monitoring of the Island Development Plan is needed to assess if the Plan is being effective in achieving its objectives and remains relevant. If not, necessary adjustments to policy can be made through a statutory process or there may be a need for guidance or other action by the Planning Service. This process enables the Island Development Plan to maintain sufficient flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances.
The Planning Service produces two types of monitoring report. Quarterly Monitoring Reports provide basic information on the delivery of housing and employment uses. The Annual Monitoring Reports are more comprehensive and cover a wider range of topics, analyse trends, include feedback from stakeholders and can recommend actions that may need to be taken.
