NP/SUSTDEV 01 – PRESUMPTION IN FAVOUR OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Development proposals which accord with the policies in the Neighbourhood Plan will be supported, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. Development proposals will also be supported where relevant policies in the Neighbourhood Plan are out of date or silent unless:
- other relevant policies in the Development Plan for the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead indicate otherwise
- or any adverse impacts of the proposal would significantly and demonstrably outweigh its benefits when assessed against the policies in the National Planning Policy Framework taken as a whole
- or specific policies in the Framework or other material considerations indicate that development should be restricted.
The Borough Council and the two Parish Councils will take a positive approach and seek to work with applicants and other stakeholders to encourage the formulation of development proposals that can be approved.
To achieve this, development proposals of 10 or more dwellings should actively engage with the relevant Parish Council and the community in the preparation of the planning application by way of Development Details (see Appendix). In particular this will include the mix of units, the design and layout of the development and should be in accordance with all other Neighbourhood Plan policies.
