Regulation 20 Annual monitoring report
A strategic planning authority must prepare a report in relation to its operative spatial development strategy, known as an “annual monitoring report”.
An annual monitoring report must include—
a statement which provides information on delivery against the objectives, outcomes and policies set out in the operative spatial development strategy,
where relevant, justification for why the spatial development strategy needs to be altered or replaced, and
where relevant, a summary of any engagement between the authority and—
such other persons specified in regulation 15 as the authority considers appropriate.
A strategic planning authority must publish its annual monitoring report annually on the anniversary of the date on which its spatial development strategy was adopted under section 12L of the 2004 Act or approved by the Secretary of State under section 12P(9)(a) or (b) or 12Q(2)(a) or (b) of the 2004 Act.
If the anniversary referred to in paragraph (3) does not fall on a working day, the strategic planning authority must publish its annual monitoring report on the next working day after that anniversary.
