The NP areas do have some kind of individual raison d'etre because the parish/town council areas are only used as a starting point. They can exclude parts of their area if they wish, and by agreement with adjoining authorities, include additional areas from neighbouring parishes where that makes sense for planning purposes. For example (all in Mid Sussex district, West Sussex), Lindfield and Lindfield Rural have a shared NP, an amalgamation of two parish councils; and Ansty Staplefield has donated an urbanised part of its territory to Horsham.
