Markfield Parish Neighbourhood Plan: Referendum Version

What happens next?

1.30. Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council will now arrange a referendum. If the Plan is approved by a simple majority of those voting in the referendum, the Borough Council will adopt it. 1.31. The Neighbourhood Plan comes into force as part of the statutory Development Plan once it has been approved at referendum. Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council will continue to be responsible for determining most planning applications, but in the Markfield Neighbourhood Area, the policies in the Neighbourhood Plan will form the basis of those decisions along with the adopted Local Plan and other material considerations.

Note, when considering a development proposal, ALL the relevant policies of the Neighbourhood Plan will be applied.
