Background information

Each planning consideration we work on passes through the stages of our design process, where we research and answer specific questions to help us collect more information.

Backlog

  • Who asked for 'Neighbourhood development order' data?

  • What is the driver for the request?

  • Which 2024 focus area does the request support?

    • Faster local plans

Screen

  • What is the 'Neighbourhood development order' consideration?

    A Neighbourhood Development Order can grant planning permission for specific types of development in a specific neighbourhood area. A Neighbourhood Development Order can therefore:

    • apply to a specific site, sites, or wider geographical area
    • grant planning permission for a certain type or types of development
    • grant planning permission outright or subject to conditions.

  • Is there legislation that defines 'Neighbourhood development order'?

  • Who, in law, is responsible for the planning consideration or makes decisions about 'Neighbourhood development order'?

  • Which organisations do we think should publish the data?

  • Is the Neighbourhood development order a trigger?

    Yes

    • What needs to be done because Neighbourhood development order has acted as the trigger?

      A Neighbourhood Development Order can be used to permit:

      • building operations (eg structural alterations, construction, demolition or other works carried out by a builder)
      • material changes of use of land and buildings; and/or
      • engineering operations

  • Is the Neighbourhood development order something to consult during plan making?

  • Is there any Neighbourhood development order data already available?

  • Do we think the data should come from a single source?

  • Will a data standard be required?

Research

  • Do we understand the lifecycle of a Neighbourhood development order?

  • Do we understand how the data is created/produced?

  • Where will or should the data be used?

  • Designated neighbourhood forums, Neighbourhood Plans

  • Who are the statutory consultees for Neighbourhood development order?

    Parish Council

  • Other than the statutory consultees who are the primary users of Neighbourhood development order? How do we expect them to use Neighbourhood development order?

    developers

  • What are the planning needs for this data?

    A Neighbourhood Development Order can grant planning permission for specific types of development in a specific neighbourhood area. A Neighbourhood Development Order can therefore:

    • apply to a specific site, sites, or wider geographical area
    • grant planning permission for a certain type or types of development
    • grant planning permission outright or subject to conditions.

    Therefore, it would be useful to have this dataset on the platform, to be able to demonstrate the instances where neighbourhood development orders are present, the geographical site and type of development they cover.

  • Who are the types of users who might benefit from having access to Neighbourhood development order data?

    developers

  • What are some potential uses of Neighbourhood development order data?

    The dataset has the potential to speed up the delivery of homes, as it sets out instances where permission can be quickly granted for a specific geography or type of development. This is likely to reduce risk for developers, as well as speeding up the planning process for a scheme in the instance where a neighbourhood development order is present.

  • What's the value of adding Neighbourhood development order data to the platform?

    The dataset has the potential to speed up the delivery of homes, as it sets out instances where permission can be quickly granted for a specific geography or type of development. This is likely to reduce risk for developers, as well as speeding up the planning process for a scheme in the instance where a neighbourhood development order is present.

  • From what we have learnt so far are there any risks to making Neighbourhood development order data available?
