Stratford-on-Avon District Council resolved that the Snitterfield Neighbourhood Development Plan was 'made' on 24 April 2018. It is now formally part of the District Council's development plan and will be used to assist in making decisions on planning applications within the plan area.

'Yes' vote at referendum

On Thursday 15 March 2018, voters in Snitterfield chose to say 'yes' to the Neighbourhood Plan.

Plan to proceed to referendum

The Snitterfield Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) was independently examined during April and May 2017. The examiner concluded that the NDP would meet the legal requirements set out in the Localism Act 2011, including meeting the basic conditions, subject to some modifications.

Our Cabinet voted on 15 January 2018 to proceed to referendum with the NDP, as amended by the modifications that are set out in the decision statement below.
