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 />
