uin	HL13603
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2021 answer text <p>Once adopted, neighbourhood plans become part of the development plan for the local area alongside the Local Plan. Planning law requires that decision takers, including planning inspectors, must determine planning applications in accordance with the development plan (including any neighbourhood plan) unless material considerations indicate otherwise. In addition, the National Planning Policy Framework makes clear that where a planning application conflicts with an up-to-date development plan (including any neighbourhood plan), permission should not usually be granted.</p> answering member printed Lord Greenhalgh question first answered 05/03/2021 14:21:23 answering member 4877 label Biography information for Lord Greenhalgh

uin	HL13604
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2021 answer text <p>The Localism Act 2011 effected amendments to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, giving effect to Neighbourhood Plans. These amendments set out that once a neighbourhood plan is passed at referendum it becomes part of the development plan for the local area and the basis for decision-making. Planning applications must be determined in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. The status of a neighbourhood plan as part of the development plan is unaffected by the absence of a Local Plan.</p> answering member printed Lord Greenhalgh question first answered 05/03/2021 14:20:44 answering member 4877 label Biography information for Lord Greenhalgh
