Minutes:
Rebeca Jones gave a presentation providing an overview of the background and purpose of the Annual Monitoring Report, highlighting the main contextual changes/significant issues that arise and need to be considered. These included the publication of Future Wales: the National Plan, the publication of Edition 11 of Planning Policy Wales, the withdrawal of the Wylfa Newydd Development Consent Order Application, an increase in demand for holiday accommodation in the Plan area and the effects of Brexit and the Covid pandemic. In relation to the indicators included in the monitoring framework, it was noted that 32 of them were performing in line or better than expected, 23 had failed to meet the target set within the indicator and that there were 5 indicators where the expected outcome had not been achieved. It was noted however that the indicators causing concern relate to issues that are out of the Plans control (e.g. issues associated with Wylfa Newydd). A brief overview of the key conclusions of the AMR was presented. It was outlined that the Plan remains a planning policy framework that enables decisions to be made on planning applications that meet the needs of the area. Further, following the Panel meeting, it was noted that the action for the indicators had been revised to refer to the need to consider the indicator in question as part of the prospective review of the Plan.
