THE FUTURE – IN YOUR HANDS
NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN REFERENDUM RESULT
IT PASSED!
The Village Referendum on the Ropley Neighbourhood Plan took place on 11th July, 2019, and its use in future planning applications was supported by the majority of those who voted. The results were as follows:
In response to the question “Do you want East Hampshire District Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Ropley to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?” the number of ballots cast was as follows:
| Yes: 300 (87.7%) | No: 42 (12.3%) | |
| Spoiled ballots: None | Total number of ballots issued: 342 | |
| Total Electorate: 1355 | Turnout: 25.2 % (342/1355) | |
The result was made (ratified) at the EHDC Full Council meeting on Thursday September 19th 2019, following which the Neighbourhood Plan carries full weight in the determination of planning applications within the Neighbourhood Plan area alongside national (NPPF and NPPG) and district (JCS) legislation.
