The Referendum for Clipston’s Neighbourhood Development Plan was held at the Village Hall on 2^nd December 2021 with Clipston parishioners, who were registered to vote, being asked the following question:

“Do you want West Northamptonshire Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Clipston to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?”

The Referendum provided the following result:

Yes 86.7%

No 13.3%

The turnout (from an electorate of 543) was 42.9%

Following this majority vote in favour, West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) formally made the Plan on 3rd December 2021. The Plan now forms part of the Statutory Development Plan and will be used when determining planning applications in the Clipston Neighbourhood Area. 

Further information is available on the WNC website from the below link, including the made Clipston Neighbourhood Plan and its Appendices:

Clipston Neighbourhood Development Plan – Referendum on 2^nd December 2021

 Each household in the Parish hopefully should have received a copy through their door of an Executive Summary of the Referendum Version of the Neighbourhood Plan. 

 The Referendum Version follows an Independent Examiner’s report of the Plan, with various modifications he recommended and West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) then approving this.

 There will now be a referendum which will be on Thursday 2nd December 2021 (7 am to 10 pm) at Clipston Village Hall. This will follow a similar format to an election. All those registered to vote within the Parish can do so and will be given a ballot paper with the question:

 “Do you want West Northamptonshire Council to use the neighbourhood plan for Clipston to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?”

 There is no minimum turnout for it to be valid. If more than 50% vote “yes” then WNC is required to “make” the Plan. If this does not occur, then WNC takes no further action and the Clipston Parish Council would have to decide what it wishes to do.

 Whilst the Examiner’s recommendations retain the intention and objectives of the policies contained in the previous draft of the Plan, the one significant recommendation is the removal of the proposed residential site allocation off Naseby Road of 4 affordable homes and 6 market value houses.

 All relevant documentation can be found from the below link. For clarity, it is the full version of the Plan which is the actual subject of the referendum rather than the Executive Summary.
