  • Polling Day (Thursday 6Th May 2021) Is Your Opportunity to Make Your Voice Heard and Vote at the Neighbourhood Plan Referendum at the Village Hall
    Blunsdon East Neighbourhood Plan (the Plan) Referendum Polling Day (Thursday 6th May 2021) is your opportunity to make your voice heard and Vote at the Neighbourhood Plan Referendum at the Village Hall. The Plan will only become part of SBC Planning Law if the majority of residents vote for it. Your vote is important as it will affect the future development in Blunsdon. On Polling Day you will be asked to vote in three separate votes for:- 1. Police and Crime Commissioner – white Ballot Papers 2. Blunsdon and Highworth Ward councillors – yellow Ballot Papers 3. Blunsdon Neighbourhood Plan Referendum – purple Ballot Papers Whether you vote for the first two is your decision but this Plan is your Plan so please vote and make Blunsdon the place you said you want it to be. Remember; x Once the Plan is brought into law, it will significantly enable SBC Planning authority to enforce their Local Plan Policies, written to protect the Parish from unplanned developments. They are currently unable to do that. There are still applications pending for 460 houses and a church in Blunsdon awaiting decision by SBC. x There are 12 robust Policies within the Plan, specifically designed to support our Community and preserve the Parish as wanted by the local community. x The Plan includes the Village Design Statement which will help to the Planners to maintain the character of the Parish. x Developer Contributions to the Community will increase from 15% to 25% which will allow better scope to mitigate any development and improve infrastructure. The Plan was produced by volunteers from the village as a result of the Localism Act 2011 introducing Neighbourhood Planning into the hierarchy of town planning in England, giving local communities the right to shape their future development at a local level.
