Corsham Neighbourhood Plan Referendum Result

Thank you to everyone who went to the polls on 14 November to vote in the Corsham Neighbourhood Plan Referendum.

The question being asked was ‘Do you want Wiltshire Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Corsham to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?’ The turnout was 24.6%, with 2,428 electors voting.

The overwhelming majority of those who voted, voted ‘yes’ with just 162 voting ‘no’. The Plan has now been ‘made’ by Wiltshire Council and will be used when making decisions and recommendations on planning applications in the area.

Chairman of the Town Council and Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group, Councillor Steve Abbott says, ‘It has taken us nearly five years to get to this stage and we are delighted that 93% of those who voted, voted in favour of the Corsham Neighbourhood Plan.’
