LocalismThe Localism Act 2011 sets out a series of changes in law to achieve a substantial and lasting shift in power from central government to local communities.
Big changes in planning!!
Regulations yet to set out exactlywhat changes, but…..

Sustainable Growth

Is there a Contradiction between Localism and Growth?
Localism Growth
![Page 6: Www.torbay.gov.uk Localism & Neighbourhood Planning Pat Steward Feb 2012.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56649e2b5503460f94b19e95/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Big Messages
• Get on with it – local councils, communities and land owners should not hold back on doing work; delay is not an option; take a less risk averse approach.
• Not nimbyism – Localism is very different from nimbyism; there are new funding streams for communities that support growth / change; no change and no growth – as an entrenched position – is not seen as an option by Government.
• Planning, but without the system – there is now less emphasis on the ‘system’ or process, and more emphasis on creativity, innovation, participation, integration and high quality outcomes.
• Consensus – there is a need for an inclusive approach that builds consensus, rather than an exclusive approach dominated by a vociferous minority; we need to tap into the views, expertise and resource of the ‘quiet majority’.
• Core Strategy - Must move forward with this and quickly; will set baseline levels for neighbourhood plans; get involved

Constrained, balanced growth• Mainly urban areas• Some greenfield, with
community support• Parallel tracking = £s for
regeneration and infrastructure
• 10,000 new homes (9,300 to consume own smoke)
• 15,000 jobs• Split roughly as follows to
reflect ‘capacity’ and needs• Torquay: 4K houses; 5K +
jobs• Paignton: 5K houses; 4K +

What are Neighbourhood Plans• Those that know about and care for an area also plan for it –
communities determining their own futures• led by the community - Neighbourhood Forums (residential,
business, interest); • Building neighbourhoods – not stopping growth; should deliver
growth in excess of levels in the Core Strategy. • Part of statutory Development Plan• Need to be examined and approved by a local referendum
(although this may change in emerging Regulations).• Local Development Orders- can extend local permitted
development rights.• Community Right To Build- communities can develop land• ‘Chapters’ for smaller communities / areas, setting out needs etc..
