Supporting information
We have produced a number of documents which are not part of the local plan but which support, explain and monitor the local plan and how it was prepared.
- Authority monitoring report (AMR) 2024 to 2025: (formerly annual monitoring report) reviews the progress of the implementation of the local plan (previous years reports are available on request).
- Housing delivery study (March 2019): this report reviews past and current rates of housing delivery and determinants of demand and makes recommendations how to accelerate housing delivery in West Suffolk.

- Housing land supply report (December 2025): The council has demonstrated it has a housing land supply of six years worth of housing land.
- Local development scheme (LDS) and timeline (February 2025): this explains what planning policy documents the council intends to produce and the timescale for their preparation. The LDS includes key milestones that inform you about opportunities to get involved with the plan making process and to let you know the likely dates for this involvement.
