NPPF
• Planning must be a creative exercise in finding ways to enhance and improve the places in which we live our lives…
• Neighbourhoods should plan positively to support local development, shaping and directing development in their area…
• Every effort should be made objectively to identify and then meet the housing, business and other development needs of an area, and respond positively to wider opportunities for growth…
• Neighbourhood plans should not promote less development than set out in the Local Plan…

“I only know two English neighbourhoods thoroughly, and in each, within a circle of five miles, there is enough of interest and
beauty to last a reasonable man his life.
I believe this to be the case almost throughout the country, but each has a special attraction, and none can be richer than the one I am speaking of
and going to introduce to you particularly…”
Tom Brown’s Schooldays

Thame
“The ten-word Vision Statement is clear, short and sharp. It provides a good introduction,
from which the more detailed objectives, and then the policies to support and deliver the
vision, naturally flow.”

WHOSE SHOES?
THE DECISION MAKER

THE DEVELOPER
![Page 20: #neighbourhoodplanning Some Golden Rules Making Neighbourhood Planning Work for Your Community](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052618/551bc5de550346c3588b4d66/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Pursuing sustainable development requires careful attention to viability and costs in plan-making and decision-taking. Plans should be deliverable.
Therefore, the sites and the scale of development identified in the plan should not be subject to such a scale of obligations and policy burdens that their ability to be developed viably is threatened.
To ensure viability, the costs of any requirements likely to be applied to development, such as requirements for affordable housing, standards, infrastructure contributions or other requirements should, when taking account of the normal cost of development and mitigation, provide competitive returns to a willing land owner and willing developer to enable the development to be deliverable.
