MT. The sales information shows that in 2004 sales of rock were 28.2 (compared to 28.5MT in 2003) thus remaining below the guideline figure. Sales information for sand and gravel in 2004 was 10.2MT (compared to 10.9MT in 2003) again below the guideline annual figure for the East Midlands. The East Midlands Regional Waste Strategy published in January 2006 is a key element of Regional Policy, providing a strategic framework which will allow the Region as a whole to rapidly progress to more sustainable ways to produce and consume goods, and then recycle or recover as much value as possible from that waste which is produced. There continues to be an increasing proportion of household waste that is either recycled or composted in the East Midlands. The total amount of household waste produced in the East Midlands in 2005/06 according to the best value data was 2,180,661 tonnes of which 713,697 tonnes was recycled or composted (32.7%). Transport The East Midlands, along with the South West, had the highest growth in traffic with an increase of 21% on major roads between 1995 and 2005. The number of vehicle kilometres travelled in the East Midlands in 2005 was 40,633 million compared to 38,075 million in 2001. In 2005/06 a minimum of 874 schools in the East Midlands had travel plans in place compared with 531 in 2004/05 representing an increase of approximately 65%. In 2005/06 a minimum of 279 businesses in the East Midlands had travel plans in place compared to 168 in 2004/05 representing an increase of approximately 66%. Sub-Areas • Eastern Sub Area Employment rates in coastal local authority areas were similar to those for Lincolnshire as a whole. There has been a slight increase in visitor spend from 2004 to 2005 in Lincolnshire, although still below that for 2003. • Lincoln Policy Area The Lincoln Policy Area Sub-Regional Strategy has now been prepared and is included in the Draft Regional Plan. • Northern Sub Area With the exception of Bolsover and Mansfield the local authority areas in the Northern Sub-area have activity and employment rates similar to that for the East Midlands as a whole. The Northern Sub-Regional Strategy has now been prepared and is included in the Draft Regional Plan. • Peak Sub Area 109 new dwellings were built in 2005/06 of which 42% were on previously developed land. 28% of residential dwellings completed over the past 15 years have been tied to an occupancy restriction.The proportion for 2005/06 was 39%. • 3 Cities Sub Area The number of new houses built in the Three Cities Sub-area increased from 8,077 in 2004/05 to 8,453 in 2005/06. Although data on retail floorspace change between 2001 and 2005 shows a small decline within the Three Cities Sub-area, major retail developments are currently underway or soon to commence in Leicester, Derby and Nottingham. East Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Annual Monitoring Report 2005/06 11
SECTION 1 introduction East Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Annual Monitoring Report 2005/06 1.1 This report presents the 2005/06 Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) for the East Midlands. 1.2 The East Midlands Regional Assembly commissioned Intelligence East Midlands (IEM) to work with the Regional Assembly and its Advisory Groups to produce this report commencing June 2006. The report is structured in 8 sections and each section presents the following: • Section 1: Introduction to the report, context for the AMR and key background information referring to the collection of relevant data for this report • Section 2: Key Points and Actions • Section 3: Housing • Section 4: Economy - covering employment, leisure and retail issues • Section 5: Environment • Section 6: Minerals, Aggregates and Waste • Section 7: Transport • Section 8: Sub Areas Context for the 2005/06 Annual Monitoring Report 1.3 Communities and Local Government (CLG) requires all Regional Planning Bodies (RPBs) to have robust mechanisms for monitoring and reviewing their Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS). Now that the RSS has replaced Regional Planning Guidance (RPG), delivery will be through a wide range of other bodies.This presents further challenges, in particular the need to scrutinise policies through a greater number of plans and strategies. A formal process needs to develop for this to be done, particularly through the consultation arrangements for these plans and strategies. 1.4 The AMR is of crucial importance to the future of the Regional Spatial Strategy. As RSSs are implemented, it is only through monitoring and analysis of performance at the local level, through documents such as Local Development Frameworks, that an assessment can be made as to the degree to which the spatial strategy and policies have been realised. The AMR is a statutory document and a technical report and its value will further increase in the years to come as indicators become standardised and consistently collected and data is built up to allow trends over time to be recorded and analysed. Trends will give a clear indication of policy areas in which progress is being made and where intervention may be required. 1.5 The AMR needs to be prepared in a systematic and structured way. Wherever possible data within the report relates to the 1 April to 31 March financial year. Some indicators are monitored on a regular basis and others on a less frequent basis. This envisages some indicators being monitored annually and others being monitored on no less than a triennial basis as part of a more comprehensive monitoring process. 1.6 The AMR should be prepared by the end of February of the following year to which it applies and is published following approval by the members of the Regional Housing, Planning & Transport Joint Board. It is then circulated to all libraries and local authorities in the Region, the Government Office for the East Midlands and partner organisations as appropriate. The 2005/06 Annual Monitoring Report for the East Midlands 1.7 The East Midlands Regional Assembly, in its role as RPB, is required to produce an Annual Monitoring Report (AMR), which links with the current RSS (March 2005) and measures the progress of policies contained within it. It is the Regional Spatial Strategy 12
