The Local Planning Authority's (Annual) Monitoring Report
The Council assesses the performance of policies of the Local Plan to ensure they remain effective and relevant by monitoring key indicators relating to housing, employment and other development. Findings are published in the Authority's Monitoring Report (AMR). The latest AMR, and reports from previous years, are available to view and download using the links below. A new AMR is usually added each autumn, reporting on the previous year.

Housing Land Supply and Housing Delivery Test
National planning policy requires the Council to maintain a supply of deliverable land for housing development. The Five Year Housing Land Supply Report (April 2024) calculates the amount of land deliverable for housing development within the next five years, from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2028, and confirms the Council can demonstrate a healthy supply of housing land in excess of five years' worth.
Separately, the Housing Delivery Test measures the number of new homes built in East Cambridgeshire against the number of new homes that are required to be built in the district. In response to the Housing Delivery Test 2020 measurement (published on 19 January 2021), the Council produced an Action Plan which explains how the supply of new homes in the district will be increased. The improved Housing Delivery Test 2021 and 2022 measurements meant no such further Action Plan was required to be produced.
