The Huntingdon Neighbourhood Plan referendum has been scheduled for Thursday 19th September 2019.
During the referendum, voters will be asked the question ""Do you want Huntingdonshire District Council to use the neighbourhood plan for Huntingdon to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?"
If a majority of voters (over 50%) vote "yes", the plan will be "made" by HDC within 8 weeks of the referendum. The Neighbourhood Plan will then become part of the statutory development plan for Huntingdon.
