“…During the 1990s and 2000s a range of community-led and broader planning instruments emerged at the village scale, including village design statements; village appraisals or 'healthchecks'; and, potentially developing from the latter, various forms of action plans described variously as village action plans, parish plans, etc. There is a substantial body of work assessing these varying forms of CLPs (Gallent et al, 2008;Moseley, 2002;Owen, 1998Owen, , 2002Owen et al, 2011;Owen & Moseley, 2003;Owen et al, 2007;Parker, 2008;Parker et al, 2010; Murray, 2012) and we do not propose here to discuss this in any depth.…”

The UK Government claimed that its 2011 Localism Act would shift power (back) to local communities and neighbourhoods so that they can manage their affairs in their own interests. One of the principal ways this was intended to happen was through the production of Neighbourhood Development Plans (NDPs). In this paper we use a longitudinal case study of the first NDP to be adopted to analyse the extent to which it meets the expectations placed upon this new element of the English planning system, and consequently the implications for the success or otherwise of 'localism' more broadly. We explore issues including the legitimacy of localist planning processes, the capacity of communities to take the opportunities open to them, and the extent to which higher tiers of governance can frame and constrain the activities of lower tiers.
