Abstract

Neighbourhood planning was initiated in 2010 1 as part of the coalition Government’s commitment to transferring power to local communities. From early 2011, in parallel to the introduction of the legislation that brought neighbourhood planning into statutory force (the Localism Act, 2011), the Government supported over 200 neighbourhood planning frontrunner communities. These frontrunners were intended to test, develop and refine the approach taken in the emerging legislation to developing plans at a very local scale. The formal provisions for neighbourhood plans were subsequently set out in the Localism Act (2011) and detailed regulations were issued in 2012 2 . Many of the early neighbourhood plans to be ‘made’ were therefore developed by these frontrunner communities. Over the past three years Government support for neighbourhood planning (to include Neighbourhood Development Plans, Neighbourhood Development Orders and Community Right to Build Order3 ) has taken a number of forms, including: funding for community groups and local authorities, support for a variety of advisory services and different types and forms of information, as well as civil service staff dedicated to the management of neighbourhood planning and related rights enabled under the Localism Act.
