The Witchford Neighbourhood Plan was formally made (i.e. adopted) by Full Council, at its meeting of 21 May 2020.
On Thursday 19 March 2020, the Council held a referendum through which local people were invited to vote on whether the Council should use the Witchford Neighbourhood Plan in taking planning decisions. The plan was supported by the majority of voters:
- Number of votes cast in favour of a 'yes' - 572
- Number of votes cast in favour of a 'no' - 25
- Number of rejected ballots- 2
The turnout was 31.10%.
For the purpose of transparency, please be aware that a legal challenge has been lodged by an external party against the Plan on the grounds that, in summary, the Plan has not complied with legislative requirements. However, the status of the Plan is unaffected until the challenge is concluded. We have no timeframe for when that conclusion may be reached.
