Neig ighbourhood Development P Pla lan Why is is it it so Im Important for Us? King’s Somborne Parish Council May/June 2017 5
What the NDP means for Us in King’s Somborne • Provides legal rights and powers to establish general planning policies for the development and use of land in our neighbourhood over the next 15 years: • protecting areas from types of change (such as too much of one type of building) • Provides policies to influence new building design, or alterations to existing buildings. • Protects and creates Areas of Green Space (Green Gaps, Allotments, Sports Grounds Play & Recreation areas as well as important historic assets) • Enables KSPC to retain more of the money collected from development, to spend on local projects. (25% uncapped vs 15% capped at £100 per dwelling) • Give us, the residents, say and control over our community 6
What the NDP means for Us in King’s Somborne (2) • Enables us to ensure we protect the things we value the most • Enables us to manage change effectively and ensure they benefit our community. • Allows us to encourage developers build what we believe our community needs and wants. (such greater numbers of affordable houses, developments more suited to elderly residents) • Defines and manages when, where and what type of development should be built • Once Adopted Test Valley Borough Council is under legal duty to bring our NDP in to force 7
And what Happens if if we don’t have an NDP in in pla lace? • There’s a lot less protection for the things that matter to us • Developers can elect to develop anywhere providing it meets the requirements of the Local Plan • We will have limited influence on where development takes place • We will have limited influence on how much development (i.e. number of houses) • We will have limited ability to inform speculative applications from developers who are looking for sites to bring forward • TVBC is not currently undertaking the allocation of sites 8
Summary ry • The Local Plan works pretty well to preserve much of the Countryside • Still allows “windfall” development Our NDP is about • controlling what happens in and around King’s Somborne and when - as it has a settlement area • More likelihood of speculative and uncontrolled development around the boundary • protecting the key features of the village and preserve the public open spaces • manages what development should look like 9
