Thriplow & Heathfield Neighbourhood Plan
As a Parish Council, we have chosen to write a Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) for our area so that planning decisions have to be made in accordance with the plan.
The neighbourhood plan cannot cover strategic issues, for example infrastructuere or major development, but can guide local issues. For example the plan should be able to say which important green spaces will be protected, or could identify sites that are appropriate for small affordable housing development.
Our plan has to conform with 'the strategic priorities' of The South Cambridgeshire Local Plan that was adopted on 27 September 2018, but in planning decisions, if there is a conflict between a neighbourhood policy and a non-strategic local policy, the neighbourhood policy will take precedence.
