18.
This plan largely replaces the Solihull Local Plan (Dec 2013), and most of its policies will no
longer carry any weight. The only exceptions are the site allocations from the 2013 plan
which remain to be bought forward. These are referenced in the policy/settlement chapters.
19.
The Gypsy and Traveller Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) was adopted
in December 2014 and co-existed with the SLP. Alongside Policy P6, this DPD will continue
to be used to provide a framework for determining relevant applications under this plan.
20.
There are now three neighbourhood development plans that have been ‘made’, and they
formed part of the development plan for the Borough before this plan was adopted. Others
that come forward will need to reflect the strategic policies of this plan.
21.
The Council places great importance on neighbourhood plans and recognises the substantial
efforts that communities have made in bringing forward plans. In the context that this plan
provides a number of policies that include Borough wide standards or expectations, there
may be occasions when existing neighbourhood plans (particularly if they are up to date and
reflect current evidence) provide a more appropriate local expression of a standard or
expectation that should be taken into account and given due weight.
22.
The local authority will continue to work with neighbourhood groups and parish councils to
support the ongoing delivery of new neighbourhood plans and the update of existing plans
as appropriate and in accordance with national guidance.
