Basic Conditions Statement

A Neighbourhood Plan must meet the ‘basic conditions’ set out in planning legislation1. These can be summarized as:

  • having regard to national planning policies and guidance;

  • being in general conformity with strategic local policy;

  • achieving sustainable development;

  • not breaching EU obligations.

In addition, the Neighbourhood Plan must comply with human rights legislation.

There are two Tables in the Basic Conditions Statement which summarize how the Murton Parish Neighbourhood Plan conforms to the National and Local Plans:
