The  consultation  document  in  sections  1.46  to  1.51  notes  that  several  of  the  borough’s  parish councils have played a significant role in progressing commitments for housing growth  in  the  2020  –  2040  plan  period,  with  ten  local  communities  choosing  to  prepare  neighbourhood plans when given the opportunity in 2017. The context for neighbourhood plans  that  have  been  prepared  to  date  is  the  spatial  strategy  and  housing  requirement  contained in the adopted Local Plan 2030. The process of preparing a new local plan that takes into account the housing requirement derived from the standard method in national planning  guidance  for  the  period  2020  to  2040  will  therefore  necessitate  the  full  reconsideration of the spatial strategy and the sustainable contribution that neighbourhood areas can make towards meeting development needs.
