Annual Monitoring Reports

Our authority monitoring reports provide information on the planning departments performance each year.

Each year, we collect and analyse development statistics from across Colchester City. This helps us:

  • understand changes in development patterns
  • refine planning policies based on local trends
  • provide clear information for stakeholders about development activity

Although the legal requirement for local authorities to publish an Annual Monitoring Report ended in April 2012, we continue to produce a yearly report. It is a useful way to monitor our planning performance.

In line with national policy, the Annual Monitoring Report is now called the Authority Monitoring Report.

The most recent report covers 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022.
