– Includes housing and land use, infrastructure to support sustainable development

What it’s not

But it can be …
But it can also be..
Protection for our green spaces
Sympathetic sustainable
development
Conservation of our historic
environment

Why have one?
• A community / village plan already planned– Get views from residents on priorities– Set a vision for next 20 years– But plans of this nature are only a guide – Lack power to influence the Local Plan
• Neighbourhood Plans are different– Statutory power to underpin the vision– Integrated into Local Plan

The Planning Policy Context
Guildford Borough’s Local PlanLiz Hogger
Borough Councilor for Effingham
![Page 9: Welcome to the first community meeting for The Effingham Village Plan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164da550346895dd72c66/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The ‘Local Plan’
• Current Local Plan for Guildford Borough 1993
• Most still applies, e.g.o Design of buildings, street sceneo Housing: extensions, new
development, affordable housingo Green Belt protection and AONBo Historic environment and
conservation areas
![Page 10: Welcome to the first community meeting for The Effingham Village Plan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164da550346895dd72c66/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
But what about the NPPF?The National Planning Policy Framework
Introduced in 2011, the NPPF in just 47 pages replaces all previous national planning policy guidelines
“At the heart of the National Planning Policy Framework is a presumption in favour of sustainable development, which should be seen as a golden thread running through both plan-making and decision-taking.”
![Page 11: Welcome to the first community meeting for The Effingham Village Plan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164da550346895dd72c66/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
NPPF: ‘Delivering a wide choice of high quality homes’
6. To boost significantly the supply of housing, local planning authorities should: • use their evidence base to ensure that their Local Plan meets
the full, objectively assessed needs for market and affordable housing in the housing market area …
• identify and update annually a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide five years worth of housing against their housing requirements …
• identify a supply of specific, developable sites or broad locations for growth, for years 6-10 and, where possible, for years 11-15
![Page 12: Welcome to the first community meeting for The Effingham Village Plan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164da550346895dd72c66/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What does this mean for us?Guildford Borough Council will soon be consulting on:• New housing targets for the Borough – interim target 322 per
year – 4,830 over 15 years – likely to increase• Green Belt review – there isn’t enough room within the currant
urban areas and the village settlement areas• Site allocations – specific sites where new homes could be built
Options consultation in autumn this year?New Local Plan in place by 2015?

About Neighbourhood Plans (NDPs)
• What are they?– A neighbourhood plan is a new type of plan introduced under the Localism Act. It will be the
result of a defined community working together to decide how their local area should develop and grow in the future.
• What are they for?– Aims to further social, economic, environmental well being of individuals living/wanting to live
in the area
• What do they deal with?– Must address development or use of land
• Homes• Businesses• Infrastructure that supports it
• Who does what?– Must be prepared by parish/town council in consultation with local people– Assessed by independent reviewer– approved by GBC
![Page 17: Welcome to the first community meeting for The Effingham Village Plan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164da550346895dd72c66/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What Influence will they have?
• A neighbourhood plan is a level of statutory planning sitting below the Local Plan (which is the responsibility of GBC to create.)
• Neighbourhood plans, once adopted, will have significant weight in making decisions on planning applications.
• They can influence the type, design, location and mix of new development, however it cannot block new development required to meet the borough’s existing and future needs.
• When adopted, They will be statutory planning documents, forming part of the local development plan for Guildford Borough.
![Page 18: Welcome to the first community meeting for The Effingham Village Plan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164da550346895dd72c66/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Local planning policiesNeighbourhood Plans can introduce planning policies specific to the neighbourhoodE.g. Thame Neighbourhood Plan7D-P1: Provide a mix of housing typesOn schemes of more than six dwellings, a mix of dwelling types and sizes to meet the needs of current and future households in Thame will be sought. Large areas of uniform type and size will not be acceptable.10D-P1: Contributions required from developers of new housing to fund additional healthcare facilitiesFinancial contributions will be required from developers of new housing to fund additional healthcare services.11B-P3: Provide new allotmentsAllocated residential sites must provide the following areas as allotments: Site C: Land to the south-east of Thame – 0.33 ha etc
![Page 19: Welcome to the first community meeting for The Effingham Village Plan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164da550346895dd72c66/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Power of NDPs
• Neighbourhood Development Orders– Grant outline Planning Permission for qualifying
developments– Underpin wishes of local residents with respect to
where any building might take place in the area• Community Right To buy / build Orders– In some instances can impose a community right to
have first option on purchase if a key site becomes available
A Neighbourhood Plan can also be very powerful (if that’s what residents want)
![Page 20: Welcome to the first community meeting for The Effingham Village Plan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164da550346895dd72c66/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Process for NDPs
• NDPs must follow strict guidelines to be accepted– Local consultation/ engagement is key– Evidence Base on needs and current solutions– Thorough review of proposals– Sustainability impact assessment on plans– Equal opportunities impact assessment on plans
• Submitted for Independent examination and must meet 3 tests– have regard to National policy (NPPF). – general conformity with strategic policies of GBC – Core Strategy/Local Plan – compatible with EU obligations, human rights requirements
• Plan to be proposed to all residents in the area via referendum– requires majority of those voting. (Only held if get past examination.)
• Formal adoption by Guildford Borough Council– Plan gets statutory status – part of Borough “development plan”
![Page 21: Welcome to the first community meeting for The Effingham Village Plan](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164da550346895dd72c66/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Effingham Village Plan will aim to…• Find out what local people want for our village • Set local planning policies to ensure the village benefits from any
new developments• Identify and protect important green spaces • Identify where the community would prefer new homes to be built
(or not built) and the style and characteristics of the homes we build • Identify where and what kind of businesses should be promoted (or
not promoted) and how we can help our local economy to thrive • Set out how we can provide for the education, health and wellbeing
of our residents by providing community spaces and facilities to learn, to play and to come together.
• Enable us to safeguard and protect our environment for our enjoyment now and for future generations

More than a Neighbourhood PlanOur Village Plan will:• Identify goals to work towards in a coordinated way and help
establish priorities for the Parish Council. • Be a solid basis for influencing the Borough and County
Councils whose activities cover the Parish, in particular concerning land-use planning, roads, parking, public transport, and housing.
• Give strong support to the organisations within the Parish that are conducting improvement projects and initiatives and who may be seeking grants and other aid from outside bodies.
Although led by the Parish Council this will be a community effort. It is hoped that the Plan will enable residents of Effingham Parish to take action for themselves, and set about making the village and wider civil parish a better place to live.
