How are planning policies monitored?

There are four main documents that we use to monitor planning policies and development in the East Riding.

  • The Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) monitors a wide range of policy and development information including housing, business and retail development
  • The Employment Land Monitoring Report (ELMR) which monitors the amount of land identified for future economic development
  • The Housing Land Supply Position Statement (HLSPS), which replaced the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) monitors a range of housing land information including the position with the 5-year supply of housing land.
  • The Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS) reports on contributions agreed and received from developers as a result of granting planning permission. The Statement also provides details on the monies spent on infrastructure funded through developer contributions.

Progress with the development of sites allocated for housing and employment use in the Local Plan is monitored through a data dashboard.

In addition, the council prepares a Brownfield Register of brownfield sites (also known as 'previously developed land') that are suitable for housing.

What is the Annual Monitoring Report?

Annual Monitoring Reports (AMR) provide an update on progress with the East Riding Local Plan and considers how well planning policies are being implemented. This includes collecting and analysing a wide range of data such as house completions, amount of available land for employment uses and installed renewable energy capacity.

How is employment land monitored?

We monitor development activity on sites allocated for employment use in the Local Plan and update our records annually. We have a data dashboard where you can check on the status of individual allocations using the link below.

Sites allocated for employment use are set out in the East Riding Local Plan Allocations Document and shown on the Local Plan Policies Map.

How is house building and housing land monitored?

House building and housing land is currently reported annually through the Housing Land Supply Position Statement (HLSPS). This shows the housing supply position as of the 1 April each year.

We also monitor development activity on sites allocated for housing use in the Local Plan Update and have a data dashboard where you can check on the status of individual allocations.

Sites allocated for employment use are set out in the East Riding Local Plan Allocations Document and shown on the Local Plan Policies Map.

A summary of housing indicators is also provided in the Annual Monitoring Report and includes details on the number of dwellings built each year in the East Riding.

Does the council have a 5-year supply of deliverable housing sites?

Yes. The council is able to demonstrate a supply of deliverable sites well in excess of 5 years for the period 2025/26 to 2029/30.

The Local Plan Update includes an annual housing requirement of 1,100 dwellings per annum. This results in a five-year requirement of 5,775 dwellings, incorporating an additional 5% buffer.

The council has prepared Housing Land Supply Position Statement (HLSPS) for the period 2025/26 to 2029/30. This identifies many sites that will be able to deliver new homes over the next five years and demonstrates a deliverable supply equivalent to 6.5 years when measured against the Local Plan Update requirement.

The table below includes a spreadsheet of all the sites included in the Statement, as well as data and reports from previous years:

What is the Brownfield Register?

A Brownfield Register is a schedule of brownfield sites (also known as 'previously developed land') that are suitable for housing. To be considered for inclusion on the register, sites must meet the following criteria:

  • Available - sites should be deliverable or developable. Deliverable sites are those that offer a suitable location for housing now and offer a realistic prospect of being under construction in the next five years. Developable sites are those sites likely to come forward later on (e.g. between six to ten years).
  • Capable of supporting five or more dwellings or more than 0.25 hectares in size.
  • Capable of development - sites should be free from constraints or, where there are constraints, these can be suitably mitigated.

The register includes sites with and without planning permission and is largely informed by the HLSPS (see above).

Data from the register is available to download via our Open Data site (via button below) which also allows you to download the data in different formats for use with Geographical Information Systems (GIS).

How are developer contributions monitored?

Contributions from developers as part of approved developments are monitored and reported on through an Infrastructure Funding Statement (IFS).

An IFS sets out how developer contributions have been and will be used to provide infrastructure within the East Riding.

Latest IFS reports

The latest IFS for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 is available below:

A spreadsheet detailing the data included in the above report is also available.

How is retail development monitored?

Retail development in the East Riding is monitored through the Annual Monitoring Report.

Can I view spatial data and layers for use in geographical information systems (GIS)?

Yes, we have an Open Data hub where you can view and download spatial data for use in your geographical information systems (GIS). This includes layers used in the Local Plan Update Policies Map such as new housing allocations, open spaces and important landscape areas.

You can also view GIS data from the Housing Land Supply Position Statement as well as other spatial data prepared by the council.
