Alderton Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) Referendum
Under current Planning legislation Alderton Parish Council is able to initiate a process to require a Local Planning Authority like Tewkesbury Borough Council to adopt a Neighbourhood (Development) Plan. The Alderton Neighbourhood Plan sets out policies in relation to the ‘development and use of land’ within the Parish boundary.
For the Neighbourhood Plan to be 'adopted' it must pass a Referendum in which people who are registered to vote within Alderton Parish can vote upon the whether the Neighbourhood Plan should be taken into account by Tewkesbury Borough Council when determining planning applications. If the Neighbourhood Plan passes the referendum and is 'adopted' it will become a significant document for Tewkesbury Borough Council who must consider it when determining planning applications.
