Where the Parish Council has not responded to a question on the consultation it is because there was insufficient time to fully inform ourselves of the implications or it was a complex question and we lacked the expertise to answer the question in an informed way.
The Government is proposing to make radical changes to Existing Planning Legislation. Broadly speaking Local Development Plans will be replaced by a zonal system.
There will be 3 areas:
- Growth Areas
Where development will be regarded as Permissible in Principle.
2. Renewable Areas
Where some development will be allowed such as in-fill in villages etc.
3. Protected Areas
Green belt will be included in this new zone along with conservation areas, sites of scientific importance and protection for Historic Buildings.
