Report by Interim Director for Planning & Place (CMDE9).

The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended) requires the County Council to prepare and publish minerals and waste local plan monitoring reports.  That requirement has been met by the production each year of a Minerals and Waste Annual Monitoring Report (AMR).

The purpose of AMRs is to assess and report on implementation of the Council’s local development scheme (the programme for preparation of the Minerals and Waste Local Plan) and the extent to which local plan policies are being achieved. Minerals and Waste AMRs have been produced and published on the Council’s website for each year from 2005 to 2015.

The AMR 2016 covers the 12 month period 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016.

The Cabinet Member for Environment is RECOMMENDED to:

(a)             approve the Oxfordshire Minerals and Waste Annual Monitoring Report 2016 in the Annex to the report CMDE9;

(b)             authorise the Interim Director for Planning & Place to carry out any necessary final editing of the Minerals and Waste Annual Monitoring Report 2016 for publication on the County Council website.
