What is a NP?
The Localism Act 2011 introduced statutory Neighbourhood
Planning in England
It enables communities to draw up a Neighbourhood Plan for their
area and is intended to give communities more of a say in the
development of their local area (within certain limits and parameters).
Our Neighbourhood Plan will be used by CDC and SDNPA as part
of their planning processes
We can influence where we want new homes, shops and offices to be
built
We can influence what new buildings should look like
We can influence landscape decisions
5
What a NP isn't…
A wish list (the plan must be evidence based)
About services (the plan is only concerned with planning issues)
6
Why is a NP important?
A Neighbourhood Plan is the most effective way by which
a community is able to influence planning decisions
It will impact planning decisions for the next 10 – 15 years
We live in a desirable area. Without a NP our community
will be an easy target for developers.

Natural Environment – an
integrated approach to development
Nick Reynolds – Work Group leader
Issues raised by the Community:
Land use and density
Location of Developments – central village layout
Gateway to SDNP
Retain separate identity - not part of sub urban Chichester
Green spaces and their use - retain, enhance, change, increase
Issues raised by others:
‘Daffodil Field’ Public Inquiry – lessons learnt (settlement
pattern)
Opportunities arising from collaboration with SDNP as primary
planning authority.
13
Natural Environment – an
integrated approach to development
Way forward:
Need to define the special and distinctive characteristics of Local
Landscape
Need to develop Guidelines that improve the economic, social
and environmental value of the landscape
How?:
Landscape survey tours to record/ illustrate special
characteristics and negative features incl settlement edges
Desk study of other NPs
Guidance from SDNP on Local Landscape Character Assessments
Special workshops with experts and feedback workshops with
community
14
Natural Environment – an
integrated approach to development
Result:
Long term (15 yr) vision of what the residents of Lavant
want their village to be like
An exciting opportunity to be part of a creative exercise to
improve the place in which we live
Local Landscape Character assessment for use by all
decision makers into the future
