Neighbourhood Plan Progress

The examination of the draft Holt Neighbourhood Plan ended on 28 February 2023, when the examiner issued the examination report. We agree that, subject to including the changes from the report, the Holt Neighbourhood Plan should now proceed to a public referendum. Therefore, a public referendum for Holt parish residents will take place on Thursday 29 June 2023.

You can view our decision statement and the modified Neighbourhood Plan in the referendum documents below.

More information on the referendum, including a referendum information statement, will be published here when available.

Next stages

A public referendum for Holt parish residents will take place on Thursday 29 June 2023. We will adopt the Plan if the community vote in favour at the referendum.

Once the Neighbourhood Plan is adopted, it will form part of the district-wide planning framework. It will become a material consideration (meaning it must be taken into account) for future planning applications in the Holt Neighbourhood area.
