Holt neighbourhood plan
Making of the neighbourhood plan
Following a public referendum on Thursday 29 June 2023, the Holt neighbourhood plan has been brought into legal force. It now forms part of the statutory development plan for North Norfolk. Decisions on planning applications in the Holt neighbourhood area (the parish) must now be made following policies in the Holt neighbourhood plan and wider development plan unless material considerations suggest otherwise.
