Hi B&H,

I've been looking for something similar - see https://planning.communityknowledgehub.org.uk/question/nps-traffic-calmin... for some replies

Initially I thought that anything affecting the Highway could only be a project in an NP and not a policy, but we're now including a traffic calming & pavement widening policy as part of supporting the town centre economy.

Frome TC are having success in dealing with SCC Highways, so its not impossible.

regards

Matt

Thanks Daniel, I'll check those examples out.

Richard Thresh at Cheshire Community Action also told me about Loxwood NP https://www.chichester.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=21800&p=0

Hi Matt,

Yes, We've come across an excellent draft Neighbourhood Plan (Old Market in Bristol) where similar policies are central elements of the plan. It hasn't been adopted yet, but looks like a good place to start:

Frome is also proposing to do something similar, and links the proposal really well back to its vision and objectives: https://bit.ly/1HfKFQZ (again not yet adopted).

Hello,

We had the same idea as you - why re-invent the wheel! We have summarised policies from the first 25 NDPs. There's been quite a flurry of referendums in the last few months and we did not update the collection. However we found 25 was plenty. This was quite useful with maybe a few caveats:
- categories seem to have different meanings for different groups so be prepared for a lot of reading
- some wording may be more effective than other, careful what you use depending on what your intentions are!

We use surveymonkey and do ask for names and addresses. However, they are not compulsory fields but we do make postcode compulsory. This enables you to filter out responses from outside the area. Does that help?

Good reply from Dapples.

However, if you don't get anywhere with that, why not follow Independents for Frome's example and stand for election? They did, now run the Council and now have a Neighbourhood Plan. Without their vision and drive Frome wouldn't have one.

Good luck!

Hi,

As far as we know, your neighbourhood plan can contain anything (Within London strategic planning framework and EU Human Rights Law). Don't forget that your plan must pass the referendum, which mean it must be inclusive and consented by the majority.

See here what we can offer your neighbourhood plan https://commonplace.is

Hi there

Just to point you towards some info that came out of our community engagement session at planning camp. We asked delegates to share ideas of how they'd gone about engaging on their Neighbourhood plan and wrote up all the ideas here
https://planning.communityknowledgehub.org.uk/resource/community-engageme...

There's also a great booklet written by the Eden Project that might also give you some ideas.

I hope this helps.
