Hungarton Neighbourhood Plan Review

Hungarton Neighbourhood Plan has been reviewed by Hungarton Parish Council during 2020. Amendments have been made to ensure consistency with the Local Plan 2011 to 2031 and the NPPF 2019. The amendments are minor changes for the purposes of correcting errors, conformity with external documents and 'good housekeeping'.

Hungarton review Neighbourhood Plan was submitted to the Council on 14 June 2021. The Plan was adopted by officers under the Scheme of Delegation on 19 July 2021 . Consultation, Examination and referendum are not required.

The ‘made’ date for a Plan that has been subject to minor (non material) modifications will remain unchanged, although the review date is shown in the Councils documentation. A Plan reviewed with minor (non material ) modifications will not immediately benefit from the protection that paragraph 14 (a) of the NPPF provides to ‘made’ Plans unless the criteria are met.

Paragraph 14(a) sets out that the protection can apply where the presumption (at paragraph 11(d)) applies to applications involving the provision of housing, the adverse impact of allowing development that conflicts with the neighbourhood plan is likely to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, provided  the neighbourhood plan became part of the development plan 5 years or less before the date on which the decision is made. This includes circumstances in which the neighbourhood plan is updated by way of making a material modification to the plan, (provided the relevant criteria continue to be met including that the neighbourhood plan contains policies and allocations that meet the identified housing requirement for the neighbourhood area). In updating the neighbourhood plan, it will be important to ensure that sites identified for years 1-5 are deliverable in line with paragraph 67 and 68 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
