Designating a Neighbourhood Area

A neighbourhood area across more than one local authority would increase the amount of work required. In this case, an area application would need to be made to, and approved by, each of the relevant local planning authorities. The neighbourhood plan would be required to be in general conformity with the strategic policies of the local plans for each relevant local authority.  The Neighbourhood Plan, once finalised, would also need to be "made" by each of the local planning authorities.  Notwithstanding the extra work involved, it is indeed possible for neighbourhood areas, and their associated neighbourhood plans, to cover areas in more than one local authority.
