Introduction to Commercial Land Use Monitoring

This document gives a brief summary of the main data and components of the Commercial monitoring survey. Additional information is

available. If you require supplementary in depth information please contact Kent County Council or the local District Council.

The annual survey is undertaken jointly by County and Local Authority officers. All commercial sites with a planning permission valid until 31st

March are visited and an assessment is then made of the stage of development; complete, under-construction or unimplemented, and this is

recorded into a database for commercial land monitoring.

Commercial Land Use monitoring in Kent (KCC area) is part of the Commercial Information Audit (CIA). Note Medway Unitary Authority was

established on 1st April 1998 from Rochester upon Medway and Gillingham Local Authorities and now conducts its own monitoring survey and

publishes an annual report. The Kent (KCC area) CIA grew out of what was the County’s Employment Land System (ELS).

Originally land use monitoring was to monitor the effectiveness of Structure Plan policies and to assist town planners and researchers when considering planning applications. Monitoring also helped consultants and developers identify sites for investment and opportunity. The Kent and Medway Structure Plan was superseded in July 2009 by the South East Plan when monitoring results were sent annually to the Region. In May 2010 the government abolished the Regional Partnership Board, although parts of the South East Plan remain valid until local authorities develop their own strategy, based upon the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

The results are used by local authorities in Annual Monitoring Reports, Local Development Frameworks, establishing type of employment

need, as well as forming the basis for formal employment land surveys.

In future years allocated sites will gradually be replaced by Strategic Employment Land Availability Assessments (SELAA) In May 2013 amendments were made to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order. See: Statutory instruments http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/1101/pdfs/uksi_20131101_en.pdf To capture the relevant permitted change of use data, prior approval and prior notification applications are now being recorded for commercial monitoring purposes.

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/1101/pdfs/uksi_20131101_en.pdf



This document is not an Employment Land Review (ELR). Annual Monitoring Reports (AMRs) produced by individual Local Authorities assess

progress in implementing Local Development Documents and how successfully policies are being implemented. Users should contact

individual Local Authorities to obtain the latest position regarding progress and content of individual ELR’s.

It is important to note that some district councils may also maintain their own monitoring systems and prepare monitoring reports covering

aspects of commercial land supply. Definitions applied and land supply sources included in the district reports may vary from those applied in

this study.

Commercial Land Use Survey - Methodology

Originally monitoring covered employment sites permitted for B1-B8 land uses. These uses were surveyed in order to monitor whether levels

of development were meeting development plan targets. In 2007/08 monitoring procedures were expanded to include commercial sites as

well as employment sites. This means that instead of only monitoring land uses B1, B2 and B8 (Offices and light industry, general industry and

storage/distribution), gains and losses of commercial units such as shops (A1), financial and professional services (A2), hotels (C1) , Residential

Institutions (C2), Non Residential Institutions (D1) and Assembly and leisure (D2) are now included in the annual survey. In 2011/12 floorspace

recorded as sui generis was recorded for the first time. See page 5 for definitions of all the Land Use Classes.

Methodology and data capture in Kent has changed several times over the years. The methodology underlying the capture of data underwent

a major change after 1990/91 and earlier records are limited in content and should be treated with caution, especially if building a time series.

Another major change was when records were computerised and more recently when the Regional Assembly required land use monitoring for

the South East Plan. A more sophisticated methodology was established in 2007/08 when the requirement for the additional land use classes

was included. In 2009/10 following a review of resources and requirements, the monitoring procedures and outputs were revised and

restructured using different software.

Documentation of the very early surveys is no longer available. The earliest paper copies that are still available give a limited amount of

information from 1986/87

Planning Permission types definitions and glossary

Full permission – development can take place at anytime within 3 years from the date the permission was granted. If development does not begin within 3 years the permission will expire.

Outline permission – a general proposal for development with no or incomplete details. Development cannot take place until the full details are submitted and approved. Detailed applications must be submitted within 3 years from the date of the outline permission. If details are not approved within 3 years the permission will normally expire.

Reserved Matters – full details further to an outline permission, which can be submitted in stages and remain valid for 2 years after the expiry date of the outline, or grant of the last reserved matters, whichever is the longer. Details may be required for building materials, design, siting, landscaping or access.

Renewal – if a planning permission is about to expire it can be renewed to allow a further period of time for the development to take place. This involves submission of a further full or outline permission.

Variation of Condition – planning permission is often given with conditions and it is possible to apply for a variation of any of these. A variation of condition application can also be made to extend the time period for development to commence.

Allocation – Land identified by the Local Authority as being suitable for future development but does not currently have a planning permission.

Extant – A site that has a current planning permission which is either not started or under construction.

Pending Losses – A planning permission with an element of floorspace that will be lost. The floorspace can be lost by a change of use to another use class, redeveloped as housing/retail/leisure or a demolition of a building or part of a building. It is possible the loss may only form part of the planning permission.

Permitted Development Rights – A type of planning permission which allows certain building works and changes of use to be carried out without having to make a planning application. Permitted development rights are subject to conditions and limitations to control impact and to protect local amenity.

Note 1: Net completions from 2001 -2008 were not split into A2/B1a/B1b/B1c so the amount previously under A2/B1 has been entered as B1 unable to split

Note 2: Completed losses include sites which are under construction ie. the site is lost.

Note 3: Site areas are estimated totals for the site and should be treated with caution. It is not possible to split it between use classes

The areas have been calculated using a ratio of 3,500m2/ha. The net completed 2001-2013 figure was carried forward from the 2012-2013 table but the ratio had not

been applied. The net figure for 2013-2014 has been added to it to give the 2001-2014 net site area so this should also be treated with caution.
