Objectives Set out what you want to achieve in order to help make the ‘vision’ a reality For each element of the vision there may be one or a number of objectives Detailed policies and proposals will then follow from these objectives Objectives should have clear purpose and deliver outcomes Outcomes are things that have an impact – to keep things the same for a reason or to implement a change for a reason What the examiners are saying: “Together with the objectives, the vision establishes a framework for the rest of the Neighbourhood Plan and as one reads through, the link between the vision and the detailed policies of the Neighbourhood Plan is clear.”
