• Output Indicators – these are aimed at measuring quantifiable physical activities that are directly related to,<br />

and are a consequence of, the implementation of planning policies. Output indicators are analysed at a<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>North</strong>amptonshire level in part A of this report.<br />

• Significant Effects Indicators – these assess the social, economic and environmental effects of planning<br />

policy and are linked to sustainability appraisal objectives and indicators. These are covered throughout this<br />

report at both parts A and the appendices.<br />

NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE: MONITORING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE<br />

CORE SPATIAL STRATEGY (NNCSS)<br />

This is the third <strong>Monitoring</strong> <strong>Report</strong> produced by the <strong>North</strong> <strong>North</strong>amptonshire Joint Planning Unit (NNJPU) on<br />

behalf of its local authority partners 6 . This report covers the period April 1 st <strong>2010</strong> to March 31 st 20<strong>11</strong> and outlines<br />

progress with implementing the Joint Core Strategy under the following broad headings:<br />

• Local Development Scheme - what plans are being prepared by the Councils and when<br />

• Overall Spatial Strategy – where is development happening?<br />

• Economy and Town Centres – is a jobs/homes balance being achieved?<br />

• Housing – are targets being met?<br />

• Environmental Quality – is it improving?<br />

• Infrastructure – is investment matching growth?<br />

This format broadly follows that established in previous versions of the annual report, both for consistency and to<br />

enable cross-referencing. Less than three years on from the NNCSS adoption (June 2008) it is still too early in some<br />

instances to track trends and performance and draw meaningful conclusions. This is further compounded by the<br />

economic recession which can make it difficult to identify where change is a result of policy or wider<br />

macro-economic forces.<br />

WELLINGBOROUGH TOWN CENTRE AREA ACTION PLAN<br />

This AMR also reports progress on the implementation of the Wellingborough Town Centre Area Action Plan<br />

which was adopted in July 2001. The Borough Council have been monitoring changes since the <strong>2010</strong> AMR and an<br />

update on progress is provided at Appendix A.<br />
