Why did we need it?

Developer threat•Developer makes the profit •Developer driven development•Different priority •Not for Parish benefit



Neighbourhood Plan

The National Planning Policy Framework states:

“Neighbourhood planning gives communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and deliver the sustainable development they need. Parishes … can use neighbourhood planning to set planning policies ….to determine decisions on planning applications; and grant planning permission through Neighbourhood Development Orders and Community Right to Build Orders for specific development which complies with the order (para.183).
