Chapter 2: Development plans etc Neighbourhood planning Section 99: Neighbourhood development plans and orders: basic conditions Effect
This section sets out what should be included in neighbourhood development plans and orders, in regard to basic conditions.
	Subsection 1(a) removes the historic inclusion of paragraph (e) under paragraph 8(2) of Schedule 4B to TCPA 1990 (basic conditions for making neighbourhood development order or neighbourhood plan) and replaces it with paragraph (ea) which sets out that a neighbourhood development order must not prevent housing development from taking place which is proposed in the development plan for the local area.
	Subsection 1(b) inserts paragraph (fa) into paragraph 8(2) of Schedule 4B to TCPA 1990 (basic conditions for making neighbourhood development orders or neighbourhood plans) to require that neighbourhood development orders and neighbourhood plans must comply with requirements resulting from the new environmental assessment framework.
	Subsection (2) introduces a new basic condition for neighbourhood plans only which sets out that they must not result in the development plan for the area proposing less housing development than would have been the case if the plan were not to be made.
	Subsection (3) amends Schedule A2 to PCPA 2004 to make it consistent with changes to basic conditions, set out in Schedule 4B to TCPA 1990.
