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.
