20 Monitoring framework

20.1 The monitoring framework set out in the table below encompasses the approach in the adopted Local Plan (Part One) and includes additional targets and indicators that flow from the policies in the Local Plan (Part Two). Some indicators within the Local Plan (Part One) Monitoring Framework have been updated with more detailed Local Plan (Part Two) indicators that measure the effectiveness of the development plan as a whole through the production of the Annual Monitoring Report. This will allow the Council to determine what, if any, corrective action is required to ensure that the strategy of the Local Plan is delivered over the plan period.

20.2 Alongside the Local Plan indicators, significant effects indicators, as established in the Sustainability Appraisal, are identified. The significant effects indicators consider the impact of policy on the sustainability appraisal objectives and measure the likely significant effects (positive and negative) over the plan period. The indicators are ordered based on the structure in the Local Plan (Part One) and each section links with the strategic objectives of the plan. In addition to the Local Plan indicators, contextual indicators will be included in the Annual Monitoring Report that will measure changes in the wider social, environmental and economic circumstances of the borough.
