East Suffolk Council
Progress shown on delivering Local Plans
Data showing the progress on the implementation of the Suffolk Coastal and Waveney Local Plans has now been published.
Every year, East Suffolk Council produces a report to show the progress on producing Local Plans and the delivery of policies and proposals. The Authority Monitoring Report 2019/20 is now available and contains a range of monitoring data covering housing, economy, retail and town centres, the historic and natural environments and many more topics.
Some key statistics from the report include:
- 819 new homes were built in East Suffolk
- 27% of these new homes were affordable homes
- 1.44 hectares of employment land was developed
- 1 Neighbourhood Plan was ‘made’ (adopted)
- £5.1 million Community Infrastructure Levy was collected
Cllr David Ritchie, East Suffolk’s cabinet member for Planning and Coastal Management said: “This annual report is the main mechanism for assessing the delivery of the Local Plans and performs an important role by highlighting performance in key areas, such as housing delivery and employment land take-up. A mass of useful supporting and background information on environmental, economic and social matters in East Suffolk is also available through easy-to-search pages on our Open Data Portal and l would encourage people to find out more about what happened in their local area or parish in 2019/20.”
