Current Status as at September 2024
What's the next step?
The Steering Group will be taking the Neighbourhood Plan (NP) to each of the three Parish Councils this September with the request that they each approve the updated plan and agree that it should be sent to East Herts Council.
We believe the NP should be forwarded to East Herts Council whose next steps will be to hold a further Consultation (Regulation 16) and then to forward it on to an Inspector to approve it. Once approved, every household gets to to vote yes or no to wanting it or not. Click Here for a quick overview of the plan process.
