Monitoring
Each year we carry out monitoring to evaluate the housing, employment and retail sectors in Ashfield. This information feeds into the Local Plan.
Annual monitoring report
The annual monitoring report aims to establish what is happening now and what may happen in the future to inform the Local Plan and corporate objectives. Through comparing trends against existing policies we can check whether changes are needed.
The report includes information on and plans toward:
- health and happiness
- homes and housing
- economic growth and place
- clean and green environment
- safe and strong communities
- innovation and improvements.

Housing land monitoring
The housing land monitoring report is undertaken annually with a base date of 1 April each year. It includes information on the delivery of new homes, and those which are likely to come forward in the future. The report also includes information in respect of the Housing Delivery Test (HDT), 5 Year Housing Land Supply (5 YHLS) and housing trajectory, affordable homes, HMOs (housing in multiple occupation), Care Homes, permitted development and traveller site provision.

Employment land monitoring
The employment land monitoring report shows the availability of land and floorspace for employment purposes in the district. Floorspace may mean offices, industrial, warehousing or spaces used for a combination of these activities.

Retail floorspace survey
The Retail Floorspace Survey monitors the district's retail climate and provides information relating to existing retail units, such as their current use and state of occupancy. This will allow us to monitor any changes in use of retail premises across the district.
The Retail Floorspace Survey also forms an important strategic document which contributes to the wider Local Plan evidence base.
