I had already suggested boundary=planning to SemanticTourist.
Boundary=civil is rather ambiguous. In my eyes the boundary tag serves
to differentiate which hierarchy the area belongs to. For example
boundary=police might serve for police force jurisdictions, with
different values of admin_level for force areas and districts (not
sure exactly how they are organised).
NP's don't have an admin function in the sense of a separate body to
administer them, they are just documents with a legal status which are
owned by (and binding on) certain bodies. There might also be Traffic
Plans, Landscaping Plans etc etc.
According to Wikipedia:
In England the local planning authorities are 32 London borough
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_borough> councils, 36
metropolitan borough
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_borough> councils, 201
non-metropolitan district
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-metropolitan_district> councils, 55
unitary authority
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitary_authorities_of_England> councils, the
City of London Corporation
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London_Corporation> and the
Council of the Isles of Scilly
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_the_Isles_of_Scilly>.
Neighbourhood Plans are for subareas of the LPAs.

Boundary=planning would seem to be the obvious tag to use. Since
neighbourhood plans will exist for some parts of the country but not for
many others other tags such as admin with or without an "admin level"
seem wrong to me. Seems pretty unclear how long-lived these plans and
planning areas will turn out to be.
