Answer
The Department is committed to meeting the costs of new burdens on local authorities. Local authorities have a duty to support neighbourhood planning and are also required to fund the independent examination and referendum. Local authorities can currently claim up to £30,000 for each Neighbourhood Plan, with additional funding available in non-parished areas and designated business areas.
