Neighbourhood Planning

 

What is neighbourhood planning?

Neighbourhood planning is a right for communities to shape the way their local area is developed through 

the use of Neighbourhood Development Plans.

Introduced through the Localism Act 2011, Neighbourhood Development Plans become part of the wider 

Local Plan and are used to determine the outcome of planning applications.

Neighbourhood Plans allow communities to have more influence and control over their local area to 

ensure they get the right type of development for their neighbourhood. However they cannot influence 

or block development set out previously by the Local Plan.

Neighbourhood Plans are led and produced by an authorised local community organisation such as a 

parish or town council, or where one does not exist a Neighbourhood Forum may be designated.

A Neighbourhood Plan can:

  • Identify a vision for the area and set objectives for the next 5 to 20 years
  • Provide detailed planning policies setting out for example, where new development should be located 
  • and how it should be designed
  • Allocate sites for different types of development such as housing, retail and office space and designate 
  • areas of community greenspace
  • Identify key areas for improvement and set out proposals for them

Neighbourhood Plans will be subject to consultation, examination and a referendum, and once adopted 

form a part of the statutory development plan for Wigan.

An adopted Neighbourhood Plan carries significant weight in determining development proposals for the 

local area, as a result, there are a number of legal requirements that the plan must meet.

A Neighbourhood Plan must:

  • Have appropriate regard to national planning policy
  • Be in general conformity to the strategic policies in the Wigan Local Plan and Places for Everyone plan
  • Contribute to the achievement of sustainable development
  • Be compatible with environmental obligations, as incorporated in UK law
  • Be compatible with human rights requirements.

Neighbourhood planning activity in Wigan Borough

There are currently four designated Neighbourhood Forums in the borough:

Setting up a Neighbourhood Plan

If you are interested in creating a Neighbourhood Plan for your area, or would like more information, 

please contact Neighbourhood Planning. We will be happy to meet with you and talk through 

what is involved.

What is Neighbourhood Planning

 

What is neighbourhood planning?


Neighbourhood planning gives your community the opportunity to plan for your local area, to decide what the place you live in should look like and define how your neighbourhood should grow and change in the future.

Neighbourhood planning gives your community the opportunity to set out proposals such as:

  • developing a shared vision for your neighbourhood
  • choosing where new homes, shops, offices, and other development should be built
  • identifying and protecting local green spaces
  • having a say on what new buildings should look like

While neighbourhood planning gives your community the opportunities to develop you own area, any neighbourhood plan must align with national planning policies as well as policies contained in our local plans for that area. It is important to mention that neighbourhood plans cannot block development already agreed through the council’s local plan or development which has already been agreed.

Who can start neighbourhood planning activity?

Anyone can identify the need for neighbourhood planning. However, only the relevant parish or town council can initiate this and in doing so, they will be responsible for the progression of the work required, in consultation with us.

In the absence of a parish or town council, you can create a neighbourhood forum (a community organisation) to carry out this role. The same measures for neighbourhood planning activity apply to both designated neighbourhood forums and parish / town councils. Its membership is open to:

  • anyone living in the neighbourhood area concerned
  • anyone working there
  • elected members of the county council, whose area falls within the geographic area concerned

Groups can either work individually or jointly in which case a lead authority would need to be nominated. For the purposes of this web page, we refer to all bodies undertaking neighbourhood planning activities as ‘neighbourhood planning groups’.

Types of neighbourhood planning activity

There are three types of neighbourhood planning that your community may wish to do:

  • Neighbourhood plan
  • Neighbourhood development order
  • Community right to build order

Neighbourhood plan

In addition to existing planning policies for your area, your neighbourhood planning group can develop further policies relating to the future development and use of land in your neighbourhood. This can include general or site specific policies.

Whilst our development plan for your area sets out the broad policies which neighborhood planning activity must conform with, your neighbourhood plan can provide greater detail. Future planning applications will be judged against a neighbourhood plan as well other relevant statutory plans. 

Neighbourhood plans have to meet particular tests (known as ‘basic conditions’) before they can be brought into force. You can find out more about basic conditions at Top tips on Neighbourhood Planning: Understanding the Basic Conditions. Before a neighbourhood plan can be brought into force it must pass an independent examination and gain support from a majority of residents through a referendum. Once a plan is in force, planning decisions for that area will take into account its policies as well as those set out in the current local plan. 

Neighbourhood development order

Neighbourhood development orders allow your community to identify development proposals which can go ahead without having to go through the formal planning application process.. Examples are:

  • extensions of a certain size or type
  • major development schemes
  • new houses (including affordable)
  • a new shop or pub
  • employment units

Community right to build order

Community right to build orders allow you to grant planning permission for your local community to build small-scale housing developments, community facilities or shops. Any benefit from this should stay within your community, for example providing or maintaining a playground, village hall or delivering affordable housing.

Any local community organisation can create a community right to build order, not just parish and town councils or a neighbourhood forum.

What neighbourhood plans cannot do

Neighbourhood plans cannot block development already agreed through our local plan, or development that has already been granted planning permission.

The Position of Women In India

 The women have held different status and
position at different times in India. She was regarded as mentally inferior to
man. Manu was of the view that the females should not enjoy any freedom in any
walk of life. They should ever remain under the strict control of their father
during girlhood; of their husband during their married life and of their sons
during widowhood.

The women could freely participate in the
religious and public life during the Vedic Period. The couple jointly performed
the sacrifices. A son’s birth always gave greater joy than daughter’s birth.
The brotherless married girls enjoyed the right of inheritance. The women could
attend the social gatherings and freely meet and converse with strangers. The
bride was most heartily welcomed. She reigned supreme over the household. The
could chant the Vedic Mantras. A window could remarry her own brother-in-law at
her sweet will. She stood high in the public. Even if she overstepped moral
laws she was judged mildly and with sympathy. She was her husband’s helpmate in
all the domestic affairs. The society was tolerant. Even the sons of a maiden
were accepted by the society. The son was known as the boat of salvation but
all the performances remained incomplete without the woman’s participation.

Later on she lost her place in the
religious sphere. The daughter’s birth was despised. Social laws and customs
stamped her with a sort of mental deficiency. The luckless girl was treated as
an intruder and was killed in certain tribes even in infancy. She was strictly
confined to home and domestic cares. She was not to be relied upon in matters
of serious concern. She had no free hand in expenditure.

Need to transform agriculture to advanced farming and maintain continuity

 The Union Minister for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Shri Narendra Singh Tomar has said that the Agriculture sector is the backbone of our country and our rural economy and agriculture have such strength that the country can easily overcome even the adverse situations. The Indian Agriculture sector has shown this during the Covid pandemic. The Government of India provided food security to 800 million people of the country, as well as helped friendly countries. Today we are in the first or second place in the world in terms of most of the agricultural produce. Despite this, there are some challenges before the Agriculture sector. There is a need to work in this direction to transform agriculture into advanced farming, technology should be used in agriculture and its continuity should be maintained.

Shri Tomar said this in his virtual address to the National Conference on Enhancing Agricultural Productivity on the topic “Integration of Improved Seeds and Agri Inputs”, organized by the Associated Chamber of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) in New Delhi today. Shri Tomar said that the stronger and more profitable the Agriculture sector is, the stronger the country will be. There is a need to consider the challenges facing Agriculture today. In spite of all the favourable conditions, the area under farming and its profit and loss depend a lot on the nature. People’s curiosity and attachment towards agriculture should increase, agriculture should be attractive for the next generation and farmers can be retained for farming, more work needs to be done in this direction. Shri Tomar said that the government is working to reduce the gap between farmers and the market, providing infrastructure in rural areas and eliminate the role of middlemen. He said that the number of small farmers in the country is more, who have small acreage and do not have money for investment; for such farmers, the Central Government is setting up 10,000 new FPOs, for which a provision of Rs 6,865 crore has been made and small farmers are being mobilized. It is the effort of the government that farmers should do group farming, so that the input costs can be reduced, production quality improves and small farmers can shift to remunerative crops and get the price for their produce on their own terms. FPOs can also process products. For this, the government has extended loans up to Rs. 2 crore without guarantee.

Shri Tomar said that to reduce import dependence in oilseeds, the Oil Palm Mission has been started with a provision of Rs.11,000 crore. 28 lakh hectares of land in the country is suitable for oil palm cultivation. The prospects are high in the Northeast. Provision of Rupees One lakh crore Agri Infra Fund has been made for creation of infrastructure in the villages. Provision has also been made for special packages for Animal Husbandry, Fisheries and Medicinal Farming. Shri Tomar said that the Government of India is also working on the Digital Agriculture Mission, in which farmers, banks and other institutions will be linked, crop assessment made, data collected and crop losses will also be assessed with technology. Mapping will be done in such a way that farmers across the country can be advised through the State Governments as to where and which consumption is there, accordingly profit can be earned by producing as much needed. There will be no panic and there will be no loss. The Government has also emphasized on Natural Farming, in this direction we all need to work ahead. ASSOCHAM members including Secretary General Shri Deepak Sood, Shri Asghar Naqvi and Shri Jai Shroff were present in the programme. A knowledge paper was released on the occasion.

Village Fair

 India is a land of fairs and
festivals. They provide us a lot of fun and amusement. The urban people have
many sources of attraction and recreation. They can visit the dazzling bazaars,
big restaurants and cinema halls. The weekly bazaars provide them the
facilities of marketing. The poor villagers lack all such facilities. The
bazaars are far off from the villages. The villagers’ life the very hard and
lacks all charm. They have no means of recreation. Their secludes life is cut off
from the urban modernisation.

Many fairs are held every year
in the villages. These fairs generally take place on the occasion of some
festival. The Holi fair, the Rakhi Bandhan fair, the Basant fair and the
Baisakhi fairs are the chief and common ones. The Baba Haridas Mela is the most
prominent one in our area. It is held at village Jharauda Kalan, twice a year.

Festival of Diwali

 Diwali or Deepawali is one of the most important festivals of the Hindus. It generally falls in the month of October. Fifteenth day of the month of Kartik is the day of its celebration. The festival marks the end of the rainy season and the beginning of winter.

A few days before the festival, houses are cleaned, white-washed and painted. The Hindus decorate their houses with pictures and images of gods. Fairs are held on this occasion in all towns and villages. People purchase parched rice, sugar toys, earthen cups and other things for the worship or goddess Luxmi.

In the right time goddess Luxmi is worshipped with parched rice, sugar toys and sweets. Then the Hindus illuminate their houses by means of earthen cups and candlestricks. Rows of lighted lamps are seen everywhere.

Some people gamble the whole night, while others recite Ramayana, hold keertans and read religious book. All want the blessing of goddess Luxmi on the night.

United Nations World Geospatial Information Congress (UNWGIC 2022)

 Students from 18 schools across the country presented new ideas on how geospatial technologies can be embedded to address local challenges like protecting the heritage, soil fertility, crop diversity, clean city, water management, women empowerment, waste management, digital India, clean energy, climate change and so on to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Teams from 18 urban and rural schools across India showcased the use of geospatial information and technology in understanding local issues and its use in planning and implementing at a special event titled ‘Geo-enabling the global village with Generation Z and Alpha’ of the Second United Nations World Geospatial Information Congress today (UNWGIC).

Efforts in mapping chemical fertilizer use in farms, as well as their production against organic fertilizer usage along with their production, were showcased. Students also highlighted initiatives of mapping rural biodiversity loss over time, as well as mapping of local recyclable products to source them effectively and increase their usage.

The young teams focused on SDGs of zero hunger, gender equality, decent work and economic growth, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, climate action, and life on land. The event could show the way to localize the implementation of the SDGs through geospatial thinking.

In his address, Stefan Schweinfest, Director UN Statistics Division, said that SDGs is not just a document but it is a proper action plan to engage with each other, work together and bring solutions for a better world. “All the projects are truly incredible and great examples for localising the SDGs. Rather than competition, the purpose of this session is to interact with each other, make friends and discuss how to take the ideas forward in the future so that you can be a UN representative for SDGs,” he added.

 Dr. Subha Pandey, Scientist, Department of Science and Technology (DST), who chaired the session, elaborated on the DSTs activities and emphasized on geospatial technology use at school and community levels to localize SDGs.

The Second United Nations World Geospatial Information Congress (UNWGIC 2022) is being held at Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC), India, from 10 to 14 October 2022 with the theme ‘Geo-Enabling the Global Village: No one should be left behind. It has been convened by the United Nations Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM) and organized by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations and hosted by the Department of Science & Technology (DST) – Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India.

Effects of Animal Husbandry

 Negatives effects of Animal Husbandry in India


Animal husbandry is one of the most important sector which provide sufficient income and development to the community.  Continuous animal husbandry will cause great impacts to the degradation of our planet. In most places we are facing environmental degradation and floods are occurring regularly. Management of waste of animal products, overgrazing, loss of habitat of animals, over fishing are some of the negative side of animal husbandry. Large amount of animals are also becoming extinct due to environmental changes. Animal agriculture produces 65% of the world’s nitrous oxide emissions which has a global warming impact 296 times greater than carbon dioxide. For rearing and animal husbandry activities using of agricultural land  it is one of the greatest contributions to loss of biodiversity,  deforestation and water pollution, soil pollution,  pesticide related health issues. It also generates large amount of green house gases. Animal husbandry in large amount like selling of eggs, fishing can harm and reduce the lifespan of animals, in few years some of the species will become extinct. When the  grazing areas dry up, the  pastoralists will be forced to travel farther to find food and many animals will likely starve. In particular, cattle, goats, camels, sheep, and other animals who depend on access to grazing areas for food will suffer from hunger and dehydration.

Animal husbandry and feed grain production are linked together, the greatest negative effect are global warming and  climate change. Animal husbandry  disrupt the weather, temperature, and ecosystem health. The IPCC predicts a growth of drought-affected areas, lower water availability for large numbers of people, and that events such as heat waves, drought, and storms will lead to more death and disease, especially for those not in the position to adapt.  As  water supplies dry up, farmers and herders are living out an ancient struggle over land and water resources. Maintaining intensive animal production facilities, as well as growing the associated animal feed, may emit 90 million tonnes of CO2 per year due to requirements such as electricity and diesel fuel. It also affect  human health and animal welfare implications of transporting live animals between different cities and countries, and can cause spreading of animal diseases. We should try to create sustainable and zero waste environment and to some extend end the destruction of our ecosystem and economy.

First seminar of Agni Tattva campaign under LiFE mission held in Leh

 Power Foundation of India in association with Vijnana Bharati (VIBHA) is currently running a campaign to create awareness on Agni Tattva under LiFE – Lifestyle for environment. This campaign includes conferences, seminars, events, and exhibitions across the country involving educational institutions, communities, and relevant organisations to create awareness of the core concept of Agni Tattva, an element that is synonymous with energy and is amongst the five elements of Panchmahabhoot.


The first conference of the Agni campaign was organised in Leh yesterday, on the theme of ‘Sustainability and Culture’. It witnessed participation from key stakeholders working in the areas of energy, culture, and sustainability, from diverse fields such as administration, policymakers, academics, and start-ups.

The conference was inaugurated by Shri R K Mathur, Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh. Speaking on the occasion, he said that Ladakh always had a sustainable lifestyle, however, increased modernisation is leading to an imbalance in the ecosystem of the region, and this not only adversely impacts the region but could also alter the monsoon cycle of the entire country since it is inter-linked with the Himalayan ecosystem. He further added that the UT administration of Ladakh has laid out a clear roadmap to reverse this imbalance and move toward sustainable development. He emphasised several key areas.

Ladakh has immense solar energy potential, which should be harnessed. Ladakh should work towards generating systems to provide power to remote areas. The focus is to provide decentralized renewable solar power across Ladakh thereby reducing grid dependency. This is in line with the Prime Minister’s vision of a Carbon Neutral Ladakh.

Geothermal energy is another focus area that holds immense potential in the Ladakh region. Unlike other renewable energy sources, which are intermittent in nature, it is available throughout the day and the year and should be suitably harnessed.

Green Hydrogen is another option in Ladakh, as the region has plenty of solar energy. It also has water. The Hydrogen harnessed from this could be used to substitute petrol and diesel and the oxygen could be used in hospitals and by tourists.

Shri Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, MP of Ladakh emphasized on an interdependent world. He said that Indian philosophy views the world as one and everything in it as one, but in the development model so far, the oneness has been lost. Shri Namgyal underlined that the model being formulated by Hon’ble PM is based on Oneness, such as One Sun, One World, One Grid, and the efforts are on to promote and propagate a lifestyle that is conscious of the environment, based on this Indian philosophy of oneness. He said that Ladakh has always been in harmony with nature and has thrived on interdependency and coexistence. This is something that the rest of the country and the world can learn from, he added.

The other eminent speakers at the Conference highlighted sustainable construction practices, energy access for mountain areas, social behaviour, and its impact on electricity demand.

The Agni Tattva campaign – Energy for LiFE, an initiative under the umbrella campaign of Sumangalam, was launched by Shri R K Singh, Union Minister of Power and New & Renewable Energy, in New Delhi on 21st September 2022. A series of seminars spanning the length and breadth of the country have been planned as a part of the campaign.

Power Foundation of India is a Society formed under the aegis of the Ministry of Power, Government of India, and supported by leading CPSEs. The Foundation is involved in areas of advocacy and research, positively impacting the evolving energy landscape.
