Getting there

Please note that on-site parking is limited and alternative parking is available 150m away at Kerridge Way. We encourage voters to avoid driving to the referendum venue where possible.

Further information

If more than 50% of people vote yes in the referendum, then we will formally adopt the Holt Neighbourhood Development Plan.

If the Neighbourhood Plan is approved, it will form part of North Norfolk's statutory Development Plan and help to decide planning applications within the Holt Neighbourhood area.
