The East Woodhay Neighbourhood Plan will be going to referendum after being approved by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council.

An independent examiner recommended the plan go to referendum, subject to a number of minor amendments which East Woodhay Parish Council has accepted and approved.

In their report, the examiner said: “Subject to my recommendations being accepted, I consider that the East Woodhay Neighbourhood Plan 2022-2029 will provide a strong practical framework against which decisions on development can be made.

“I am pleased to recommend that the East Woodhay Neighbourhood Plan 2022-2029, as modified by my recommendations, should proceed to Referendum.”

Basingstoke and Deane need to make the final checks on the updated plan, and then set a date for when it goes to referendum.
