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

3.5. Advice on non-strategic policies and the role of neighbourhood plans is
identified in paragraphs 29 and 30. The Ickford Neighbourhood Plan establishes a
shared vision for the area and its policies shape, direct and help deliver sustainable
development. It has sought to translate objectives into a number of meaningful planning
policies to complement other development plan policies for managing development.

3.6. The Neighbourhood Plan strikes a positive balance between the policy
constraints of the Parish and the need to support the general requirements of the
development plan as set out in section 5 below.

3.7. The Neighbourhood Plan avoids duplicating development plan policies
by focusing on site-specific policies that translate the general requirements of the
development plan into an Ickford context. Once made, the Neighbourhood Plan
should be easily considered alongside the development plan and any other material
considerations in determining planning applications.

3.8. Set out below is a brief summary of how each policy conforms to the
NPPF. The particular paragraphs referred to in the table are those considered the
most relevant to each policy but are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all
possible relevant paragraphs.
