Conformity with planning policies and decision making
Does a Neighbourhood Plan work alongside the local plan?
Yes, the neighbourhood plan works alongside the local plan. Once 'made' (i.e.. adopted), the neighbourhood plan will form part of the development plan for the area alongside the local plan. The policies of both the neighbourhood plan and local plan must be taken into account in future planning and development decisions. A neighbourhood plan must be in general conformity with the strategic policies of the local plan for the area.
