Monitoring Reports

• Monitoring Report 1 (Published December 2005)

The Lancashire Minerals and Waste Local Plan 2006 Monitoring Report is the first report monitoring the policies and proposals of the local plan which was adopted in December 2001. The purpose of the monitoring report is to determine whether the local plan is proving effective in achieving its aims and objectives and to identify any policies which might need to be changed because they are failing or as a result of any new legislation, guidance, statistical or other information becoming available. The monitoring report is seen as part of the process leading to the review and rolling forward of the local plan. This monitoring report presents data on minerals and waste for the period April 2001 to March 2003.
