Am i correct that Parish Councils under the localisms bill now can decide planning policy within their parish and the borough council planning officers are there to “assist” not dictate planning policy?

The relationship between parish councils, or neighbourhood forums outside parished areas, and the local planning authority is explained in ‘Neighbourhood planning – frequently asked questions’ produced by the Department for Communities and Local Government: http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/planningandbuilding/pdf/2099152.pdf
