  13. Frequently asked questions • Q. Are the results of the Parish Plan binding on the • parish council? • A. The parish council should endorse the final plan • and use it as a statement of policy. They may be responsible for taking forward some of the actions. • Q. Does the local authority have to take any notice of our plan – does it have any formal status? • Parish Plans do not currently have any formal status and they cannot override agreed planning policy. But, if you start a dialogue with the local authority at an early stage in preparing the plan, you will be able to identify where they can help you.

  14. Frequently asked questions Q. Will it help us get a new village hall/youth club? A. Yes. If you have consulted widely with the community and come up with clear evidence of need, a Parish Plan will certainly help you make the case to a range of funding bodies for cash for such projects
