Neighbourhood plans are back on the agenda after news that a referendum has been held for a neighbourhood plan in Cumbria's Eden District. We have been told that there is new money available for these costly projects which might overcome one hurdle. Another hurdle was a prohibition according to CBC on parish councils doing a joint plan - we know smaller councils like Salford were very keen on this. But the Cumbrian example involved a group of parish councils working together.
One of the biggest difficulties, politically, will be a requirement to identify were future housing should go and I presume that will still be a factor. More news - and thoughts - soon.
