Authority Monitoring Report

The Council produces an Authority Monitoring Report (previously called the Annual Monitoring Report) which sets out the performance of policies and progress towards targets and milestones in planning policy documents. If policies are not working as intended, or are not achieving sustainable objectives, the Authority Monitoring Report will include suggested actions.

Five Year Housing Land Supply Statement

All Councils are required to identify a supply of deliverable housing land for the next five years. The Council produces an annual statement that explains how the five year housing land supply is currently being met.

Following publication of the revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) on 12 December 2024 the addendum available via the link below provides an updated Five-Year Housing Land Supply position for Stafford Borough, using housing supply and completion data as at 31 March 2024 and applies the Local Housing Need (LHN) requirement in line with the revised NPPF of 751 new dwellings per year.
