NEXT STEPS
What happens next?
Once a local referendum has taken place votes will be counted. If the plan is supported by over 50 per cent of those who vote, the plan or order is then ‘made’ (brought into force) by the local authority. The Neighbourhood Plan will be used to shape planning policy over the next 10 years. The final plan will be taken into account when the Council is weighing up new proposals for housing or industrial development in the area.
