Authority Monitoring Report
The council assesses the performance of policies of the Local Plan to ensure they remain effective and relevant by monitoring key indicators relating to housing, employment and other development.
Findings are published in the Authority's Monitoring Report (AMR). The latest AMR, and reports from previous years, are available to view and download using the links below. A new AMR is usually added each autumn, reporting on the previous year. Sometimes, the figures in AMRs published in previous years differ from those shown in the most recent version. Where this is the case, the most up to date AMR should be taken as definitive.
Housing Land Supply
National planning policy requires us to demonstrate that there is a supply of deliverable land for housing development in the district. The Five Year Housing Land Supply Report (October 2026) calculates the amount of land deliverable for housing development within the next five years, from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2031, and confirms we can demonstrate a healthy supply of housing land in excess of five years' worth.
Housing Delivery Test
The Housing Delivery Test (HDT) measures the number of new homes built in East Cambridgeshire against the number of new homes that are required to be built in the district. The latest HDT measurements are dated 2025 and were published by government in August 2026. East Cambridgeshire scored 116%.
The Five Year Housing Land Supply Report is available on this webpage.
