Arthingworth Neighbourhood Plan
At its meeting of Planning Policy Council on 22 November 2023, West Northamptonshire Council agreed that the Arthingworth Neighbourhood Plan, as modified by the examiners recommendations, should proceed to referendum. The referendum relating to the Arthingworth Neighbourhood Plan will be held on 8th February 2024.
The question which will be asked is:
“Do you want West Northamptonshire Council to use the neighbourhood plan for Arthingworth to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?”
In accordance with the regulations we have published a Neighbourhood Plan Information Statement to support the referendum.
