DISCUSSION
The report was submitted,
noting that this was the first monitoring report for the Joint Local
Development Plan, reporting
on the period between August 2017 and the end of March 2019. The report had already been submitted to the Communities Scrutiny Committee and the Joint Planning Policy Committee, and it had also been presented at workshops for Members.
It had not yet been submitted to the Anglesey County Council Scrutiny Committee or Executive.
It was noted that
the report was part of creating an evidence
base in order to review the Plan in due course, reporting
on 69 performance indicators whilst setting a baseline for them. It was required to review the Plan every four years;
however, before reviewing the Plan, a minimum of three monitoring reports would need
to be published. It was added
that the Plan's local market housing
policy was pioneering as
the only one of its kind in
Wales.
In relation
to Wylfa, it was noted that
the best course of action for the time being
would be to exercise discretion until the situation settled. It was also emphasised that the policies in the Plan were robust, and that
as part of planning applications, developers were required to prove the need for developments.
