Maitain ambiguous 50+ and scale----- cannot be possible--- ambiguities leveraged

I interpret the above to mean precisely what it says and that other than in
exceptional circumstances neighbourhood plans prevail and should be applied
consistently by Local Planning Authorities (LPA) to specific applications. Attachment 2
is a copy of the AWNP Regulation 20 Adoption Statement.

11. Commitments – Sites already in the planning process which have planning permission for
residential development or are allocated in a Development Plan Document
12. Development Plan – As set out in section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase
Act, an area’s development plan consists of the Development Plan Documents contained
within the Local Development Framework

13. District Plan – This document is the principal Development Plan Document, setting out the
long-term strategic vision for the District, as well as objectives for the area and strategic
policies
14. Evidence base – The evidence that any development plan document, in particular the
District Plan, is based on. It is made up of the views of stakeholders and background facts
about the area.

15. Local Development Document – The collective term for documents that form part of the
Local Development Framework. These documents can either be a Development Plan
Document, a Supplementary Planning Document or the Statement of Community
Involvement.
16. Local Development Framework – Introduced by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase
Act 2004 as the replacement for Local Plans. It is the term used to describe the whole
portfolio of planning policy documents (Local Development Documents) setting out the
planning strategy and policies for the area. It consists of Development Plan Documents,
Supplementary Planning Documents, a Statement of Community Involvement, the Local
Development Scheme and the Annual Monitoring Report.
17. Local Development Scheme – This document sets out the timetable for the preparation of
the Local Development Documents. It identifies which Development Plan Documents and
Supplementary Planning Documents are to be produced and when.

18. Local Distinctiveness – Local distinctiveness is the physical, environmental, economic or
social factors that characterise an area (and most likely a combination of all four), as well
as how an area interacts with others.

19. Neighbourhood Plans – Neighbourhood plans are a new way for communities to decide
the future of the places where they live and work. The Government introduced the right
to prepare Neighbourhood Plans through the Localism Act.

20. Rural exception sites – Small sites used for affordable housing in perpetuity where sites
would not normally be used for housing. Rural exception sites seek to address the needs
of the local community by accommodating households who are either current residents or

have an existing family or employment connection.
