Authority monitoring reports

Councils are required to prepare an authority monitoring report, detailing progress with plan preparation and the extent to which the policies within the local plan are being achieved.

There are seven local plans from the former district and borough councils in North Yorkshire, which are still in use. Therefore, there is a requirement to produce an authority monitoring report to give information on progress with the new North Yorkshire local plan and a requirement to publish individual reports for all seven of the legacy authority local plans. The reports for the former district and borough local plans have been published below as appendices to the main North Yorkshire Local Plan authority monitoring report.

We have also published an authority monitoring report for the minerals and waste joint plan, which covers the whole county.

Annual infrastructure funding statement

The infrastructure funding statement is an annual report that explains how developer contributions have been secured and spent through section 106 agreements and community infrastructure levy during a specific financial year.

Developer contributions help fund the infrastructure needed to support new development, such as schools, transport, health facilities, green spaces and community infrastructure.

Since the formation of North Yorkshire Council, information from the former district and borough councils has been combined into a single infrastructure funding statement. The infrastructure funding statement therefore covers planning obligations across the whole of North Yorkshire including Craven, Hambleton, Harrogate, Richmondshire, Ryedale, Selby and Scarborough.

The statement provides transparency on how contributions are collected, allocated and spent, as well as how funding is carried forward for future infrastructure delivery. 

Infrastructure business plan

Alongside the infrastructure funding statement, we have produced an infrastructure business plan. The infrastructure business plan introduces a new strategic framework and assessment process for identifying and prioritising infrastructure projects that support placemaking and planned growth. It provides a more forward-looking approach to infrastructure planning and investment.

The infrastructure business plan:

  • sets out how infrastructure priorities are assessed and ranked
  • supports the coordinated delivery of infrastructure needed to enable growth
  • puts forward community infrastructure levy spending recommendations for the year ahead
  • helps ensure funding is directed to projects that deliver the greatest benefit

The infrastructure business plan is a living document and will be reviewed and updated annually. Each update will aim to bring forward new recommendations in advance of the adoption of the new North Yorkshire Local Plan.

The document also puts forward community infrastructure levy spending recommendations for the year. This will also be reviewed each year, aiming to offer new recommendations every year prior to the new North Yorkshire Local Plan adoption.
