Planning guidance sets out the action an authority should take where a neighbourhood plan comes forward before an up-to-date Local Plan is in place (further details can be found at: http://planningguidance.planningportal.gov.uk/blog/guidance/neighbourhood-planning/what-is-neighbourhood-planning/what-is-a-neighbourhood-plan-and-what-is-its-relationship-to-a-local-plan/<\/a>)

A local planning authority should take a proactive and positive approach, working collaboratively with a parish or town council or a designated neighbourhood forum particularly sharing evidence and seeking to resolve any issues to ensure that the draft neighbourhood plan has the greatest chance of success at independent examination.

Town and parish councils and designated neighbourhood forums can also use the planning guidance on housing and economic development needs assessments to identify specific local needs that may be relevant to a neighbourhood but any assessment at such a local level should be proportionate.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4009", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Great Yarmouth"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Brandon Lewis"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-02-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-02-25T16:40:12.007Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-02-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Neighbourhood Plans"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what guidance his Department provides to local planning authorities on support for town and parish councils to initiate a neighbourhood plan when (a) there is no local plan, (b) a local plan is being considered by an inspection and (c) there is doubt about housing numbers.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4104", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Neil Carmichael"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stroud"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Neil Carmichael"} ], "uin" : "224890"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/223049", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Scotland Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/223049/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Whilst parents can only receive support from either Universal Credit or Tax-Free Childcare at any time, where families are eligible for both they will have the freedom to choose the scheme which best meets their needs, and will be able to move freely between schemes when they experience a relevant change in circumstances.<\/p>

<\/p>

Draft guidance for parents on Tax-Free Childcare has already been published online for consultation by HMRC. There will also be an easy-to-use online calculator for parents choosing between Universal Credit and Tax-Free Childcare. Parents will be able to enter details about their personal circumstances to quickly see what support they may be entitled to and how much they may get.<\/p>

<\/p>

The DWP continues to work closely with HMRC to ensure the two schemes complement each other effectively, and that parents will have the guidance they need in order to make an informed decision on which scheme will provide the best support for them.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/220", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Webb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thornbury and Yate"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Steve Webb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-02-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-02-25T11:04:31.093Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-02-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Children: Day Care"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will provide guidance to families with variable incomes on how best to choose between universal credit and the tax-free childcare scheme; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4083", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Alison McGovern"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wirral South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Alison McGovern"} ], "uin" : "224915"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/222382", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Innovation and Skills"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/222382/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The European Structural and Investment Funds programmes 2014-20 are an important part of the Government\u2019s long-term economic plan to boost local growth and create jobs across England. Officials from the Managing Authorities for the various European Structural and Investment Funds Programmes and from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills are in close contact with the European Commission on an ongoing basis about the development and set up of the 2014-20 programmes in England. The partnership approach we are using for the programmes gives a strong and active advisory role to Local Enterprise Partnerships and to other local partners. At the same time, the Managing Authorities will shoulder the administrative burdens and financial risks involved in running the programmes.<\/p>
