EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make amendments to the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (“the 2012 Regulations”) and the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure)(England) Order 2015.

Regulation 3 inserts a new definition into the 2012 Regulations, to explain what a modification proposal is, in relation to a neighbourhood plan.

Regulations 4 to 7 and 9 to 11 make amendments to the 2012 Regulations to apply the existing procedure for making a neighbourhood development plan in Part 5 of the 2012 Regulations to the modification of a neighbourhood development plan. This is in consequence of the coming into force of section 4 of the Neighbourhood Planning Act 2017, which inserts Schedule A2 into the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, which deals with the modification of neighbourhood development plans and mirrors many of the provisions of Schedule 4B to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

Regulation 8 corrects a minor error in regulation 17A, which was inserted into the 2012 Regulations by the Neighbourhood Planning (General) and Development Management Procedure (Amendment) Regulations 2016.

Regulation 12 amends the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 in consequence of the changes in relation to notification of applications to neighbourhood planning bodies, as a result of the coming into force of section 2 of the Neighbourhood Planning Act 2017.

Regulation 13 makes transitional provision in relation to a proposal for the modification of a neighbourhood development plan which is submitted to a local planning authority under regulation 15 of the 2012 Regulations before 31st January 2018, so that the existing requirements for modification of a neighbourhood development plan continue to apply – i.e. that the same process is followed as for the making of a new neighbourhood development plan.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared as this instrument will not have a significant financial impact.
