Swaffham Bulbeck Neighbourhood Plan 2022-2037
Parish Referendum
Our Neighbourhood Plan has now successfully passed an independent examination and has been approved to go forward to a referendum on 26th January.
The referendum is organised by East Cambridgeshire District Council and will be similar to arrangements used in local elections. Those residents entitled to vote will be asked to answer ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to the following question:
Do you want East Cambridgeshire District Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?
If more than 50% vote ‘Yes’ the District Council will be legally required to adopt the Neighbourhood Plan as part of its planning framework. This means the planning policies of the Neighbourhood Plan will have to be taken into account as part of future planning applications.

Paper copies are available to borrow on request from the Clerk to the Parish Council clerk@swaffhambulbeckpc.org.uk
