  • NFNPA Matter 2
    New Forest National Park Local Plan 2016 – 2036 Examination Statement – New Forest National Park Authority Matter 2 – Duty to Co-operate Issue – Whether the Authority has complied with the duty to co-operate in the preparation of the Local Plan? General 2.1 What strategic, cross-border matters have arisen through the preparation of the Local Plan? 1. In response to the Localism Act 2011 (CD34) and the requirement for planning authorities to engage constructively and on an on-going basis on strategic matters, the Authority has prepared a Duty to Co-operate Statement (CD19). This sets out the work done in response to the requirements of the duty. 2. Section 5 of CD19 summarises the co-operation on cross-boundary matters that has gone into the preparation of the Submission draft Local Plan since the review commenced in 2015. As well as the four stages of formal consultation, liaison has taken place through the Authority’s Local Plan Working Groups in 2016; regular officer and member liaison meetings; and the duty to co-operate discussions initiated with neighbouring authorities in the three Housing Market Areas of Southampton, Bournemouth / Poole and Salisbury by the National Park Authority and New Forest District Council in summer 2017. 3. From the liaison that has taken place since the Local Plan review commenced in summer 2015, three main strategic issues that require cross-boundary co- operation have been identified. These relate to: (i) the provision of housing to meet identified needs; (ii) habitat mitigation measures to ensure that the planned level of development in the area does not affect the integrity of the protected habitats of the New Forest (including the coastline); and (iii) the former Fawley Power Station site, which is a strategically important development site requiring cross boundary working and co-operation between the National Park Authority and New Forest District Council.

  • Hythe and Dibden Neighbourh
    1 December 2015 Designating the Hythe & Dibden Neighbourhood Area NEW FOREST NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY REPORT TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR STRATEGY & PLANNING AND CHAIR OF PLANNING DEVELOPMENT CONTROL COMMITTEE (PDCC) DESIGNATING THE HYTHE & DIBDEN NEIGHBOURHOOD AREA AS IT RELATES TO THE AREA WITHIN THE NEW FOREST NATIONAL PARK Report by: David lllsley, Policy Manager 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Neighbourhood Plans were introduced by the Localism Act 2011 to give communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development of their local area. Neighbourhood Plans are statutory documents that, once adopted, form part of the 'development plan' for the area. As the New Forest is a parished area, Neighbourhood Plans can be undertaken by parish or town councils if they chose to prepare one. The National Park Authority has a role in supporting communities in preparing a Neighbourhood Plan by giving advice and assistance to the town/parish council. 1.2 Neighbourhood planning is not a legal requirement, but a right which communities in England can chose to use. Under the relevant Neighbourhood Planning Regulations, in order to start the formal process of preparing a Neighbourhood Plan a town/parish council first makes an application to the local planning authority for the designation of the area that their Neighbourhood Plan will cover (Regulation 6). 2. AREA APPLICATION BY HYTHE & DIBDEN PARISH COUNCIL 2.1 In a letter dated 15 July 2015 (Appendix B), Hythe & Dibden Parish Council applied to New Forest District Council and the New Forest National Park Authority - as the Parish includes land within both the boundary of the District (circa 75% of the land area of the parish) and the National Park (25% of the land area of the parish) - for the area of their proposed Neighbourhood Plan to cover the whole of the parish.

  • Hythe and Dibden Neighbourhood Plan • Strategic Environmental Assessment (Voluntary Submission)
    Hythe and Dibden Neighbourhood Plan ‘Our Neighbourhood, Our Future’ HYTHE AND DIBDEN NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2018 - 2026 Hythe & Dibden Neighbourhood Development Plan IMPORTANT NOTE - ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENTS The Hythe and Dibden Neighbourhood Development Plan should be read in conjunction with the following additional documents: Statutory supporting documents • Basic Conditions Statement • Consultation Statement • Evidence base and documentary sources [NB References to evidence and sources shown thus (ref 5.1) in the text of the Plan] Non-statutory accompanying documents (which do not form part of the statutory ‘Neighbourhood Plan’) • Community aspirations not included in the Hythe and Dibden Neighbourhood Plan • Strategic Environmental Assessment (voluntary submission) 2 Hythe & Dibden Neighbourhood Development Plan Foreword This Neighbourhood Development Plan has been written in response to concerns within the community that the Parish of Hythe and Dibden is not preparing itself for the development the community needs in order to remain vibrant and sustainable. The Neighbourhood Plan is a progression from the RevitalHythe Action Plan that was published in 2008. It is anticipated that the Neighbourhood Plan will lead to other follow-on work such as Local Distinctiveness design guidance, Village Design Statements and Sustainable Transport initiatives. The response from the public for this plan has been excellent and the Hythe and Dibden Neighbourhood Planning Group has endeavoured to capture all feedback as evidence to support policies in the Plan that satisfy required planning tests and are legally enforceable. The people that live in the four communities of Hythe, Dibden, Dibden Purlieu and Butts Ash that make up the Parish of Hythe and Dibden are passionate about their Village and the rural surrounds and want to retain the inherent charm, character, vitality and setting whilst accepting some development will be needed to accomplish this.
