The Community Right to Build will mean that constituted community organisations, parish councils, neighbourhood forums, etc would be able to take forward new local developments without the need to go through the normal planning application process, as long as the proposals meet certain criteria and there is community backing in a local referendum. So essentially a new route to planning permission – a few specific points of difference on use CRTB Order is a special form of neighbourhood development order There is protection to avoid profiteering once the development is completed – ensure assets used / retained for community benefit – if wound up, must be passed to organisation with similar purpose If needs EIA – it’s not eligible for RTBuild Green belt / enfranchisement rights - the NPPF identifies CRtB as development that is not inappropriate in the green belt provided it preserves the openness of the green belt and does not conflict with the purpose of including land in green belt. ● to check the unrestricted sprawl of large built-up areas; ●to prevent neighbouring towns merging into one another; ●to assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment; ●to preserve the setting and special character of historic towns; and ●to assist in urban regeneration, by encouraging the recycling of derelict and other urban land.
