The Neighbourhood Plan is a legal document which sits alongside the Council’s City Plan and has to be taken into account by the Local Planning Authority when making decisions on planning applications.
It’s purpose is to set out the local people’s vision of the future for their neighbourhood – what residents want their neighbourhood to be like in 5-10-15 years’ time – especially changes which require planning permission.
It is also known as a ‘neighbourhood development plan’ or ‘NDP‘.
