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
• f 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
• pen spaces
• manages what development should look like
