As we prepare the Neighbourhood Plan, we will identify existing documents (or create our own reports) that will provide an evidence based for our Plan.
National Planning Policy and Guidance
All Neighbourhood Plans are required to have regard to national planning policies and guidance – the key documents and links are given here:
- National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF)
- National Planning Policy Guidance (supplements the NPPF)
- National Design Guide (a national design code is expected shortly)
Local Planning Policy and Guidance
All Neighbourhood Plans have to be in general conformity with the strategic planning policies for their area. Other evidence relating to the Local Plan preparation can also be relevant.
- Christchurch and East Dorset Local Plan Part 1 – Core Strategy (2014)
- BCP Call for Sites (interactive map) and Summary Report
- BCP Evidence Studies (research)
- Conservation Area Appraisals (various)
