6 VISION FOR ICKFORD : ICKFORD NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN : BASIC CONDITIONS STATEMENT

1.3. The policies described in the Neighbourhood Plan relate to the
development and use of land in the designated Neighbourhood Area and do not
relate to any other designated Neighbourhood Area. The plan period is from 1st
April 2019 to 31st March 2033 and it does not contain policies relating to excluded
development in accordance with the Regulations. The document also contains a
number of non-statutory proposals that relate to local planning matters in Section
13, Implementation, Monitoring and Review which do not form part of the
examined ‘neighbourhood development plan’ but provides a ‘wish list’ that has
emerged during consultation that the Parish Council have considered during the
preparation of the document.

1.4. The Statement addresses each of the four ‘basic conditions’ required of
the Regulations and explains how the submitted Neighbourhood Plan meets the
requirements of paragraph 8 of schedule 4B to the Town and Country Planning
Act 1990.

1.5. The Regulations state that a Neighbourhood Plan will be considered to
have met the basic conditions if:

• Having regard to National Policies and advice contained in guidance
issued by the Secretary of State, it is appropriate to make the
neighbourhood development plan
• The making of the neighbourhood development plan contributes
to the achievement of sustainable development
• The making of the neighbourhood development plan is in general
conformity with the strategic policies contained in the development
plan for the area of the authority (or any part of that area)
• The making of the neighbourhood development plan does not
breach, and is otherwise compatible with EU obligations
