Referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan

Published: 27 July 2025

 A neighbourhood planning referendum relating to the adoption of the ‘Lower Beeding Neighbourhood Plan’ will take place on 4 September 2025.

For this referendum you will receive a ballot paper with this question:

“Do you want Horsham District Council to use the neighbourhood plan for Lower Beeding Parish to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?”

The referendum will ask you to vote ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to the above question.

If you vote ‘Yes’ then Horsham District Council will use the Neighbourhood Plan to help it decide planning applications in Lower Beeding Parish.

 If you vote ‘No’ then planning applications will be decided without using the Neighbourhood Plan as part of the Development Plan for the local area'.
