Authority Monitoring Report and Housing Land Supply
The Authority Monitoring Report (AMR) contains information on the implementation of the Council’s Local Development Scheme and the extent to which planning policies set out in the Council’s adopted Local Plan are being achieved. This enables the effects of a policy to be monitored transparently and will provide details as to when policies are not working as intended. The AMR also contains information on the progress of Neighbourhood Plans within the District and its joint working with other statutory bodies through the duty to cooperate process. This annual report covers the period from 1 April to 31 March each year and is required through national planning regulations.
The AMR has been published since the adoption of the Council’s Core Strategy Local Plan (February 2013) and are available below:

Current Housing Land Supply Position
As part of the Authority Monitoring Report, the Council monitors how many houses are completed in the district each year. However, this housing growth is also assessed in a more detailed manner as part of a specific planning policy requirement under national planning policy. The Housing Land Supply (HLS) position statement summarises the main outcomes of housing provision within Wealden District and provides the current position in relation to our housing requirement and land supply position, on an at least annual basis.
The latest HLS Position Statement (as at 1st April 2025) has now been published below. This takes account of the current NPPF, which changed the ‘standard method’ calculation for housing need in December 2024. It also gives an update on planning permissions expected to contribute to that housing land supply position to help meet that need over the next five years. The latest HLS statement is provided below:
This HLS Position Statement will continue to be updated annually or as revised measurement, completion and supply data becomes available.
