answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2017 answer text <p>Neighbourhood planning gives communities a powerful set of tools to shape their area. The Written Ministerial Statement of 12 December 2016 (HCWS346) introduced additional protection to neighbourhood plans where all of the following criteria apply:</p><p>•the written ministerial statement is less than 2 years old, or the neighbourhood plan been part of the development plan for 2 years or less;</p><p>•the neighbourhood plan allocates sites for housing; and</p><p>•the local planning authority can demonstrate a 3-year supply of deliverable housing sites against its 5 year housing requirement.</p><p>The Housing White Paper committed to take forward this important protection in the revised National Planning Policy Framework. Guidance for decision makers on interpreting the Written Ministerial Statement, in light of recent Court judgements, was published on 10 August 2017 <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/neighbourhood-planning--2" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/neighbourhood-planning--2</a> (Paragraph: 083) and we will provide further clarification where necessary. Revised guidance will also set out more clearly how the five-year land supply should be calculated.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 12/12/2017 16:56:48 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2015 answer text <p>The Department does not hold official statistics on the number of neighbourhood forums established under the Localism Act. However from our informal monitoring we are aware that of the 1,400 communities who have started the process of neighbourhood planning, around 190 are non-parished areas, and will therefore be led by neighbourhood forums.</p> answering member constituency Bristol West answering member printed Stephen Williams question first answered 24/03/2015 12:16:12 answering member 1492 label Biography information for Stephen Williams

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2014 answer text <p>Neighbourhood planning, for the first time, gives residents and individuals in businesses the opportunity to produce neighbourhood plans that have real statutory weight in the planning system and grant planning permission for development they want to see through neighbourhood development orders (including community right to build orders). Over 1,100 communities have taken the first steps towards producing a neighbourhood plan for their area and there has been overwhelming support for neighbourhood plans at the 27 local referendums held so far. The first 19 neighbourhood plans are now in force (made) and are part of the development plan for the area. Planning applications will be determined in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 09/09/2014 14:35:12 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
