On 18th February 2016 voters in Burpham overwhelmingly voted in favour of the Burpham Neighbourhood Plan. 92% of voters said ‘Yes’ to the adoption of the Burpham Neighbourhood Plan, which will now proceed to full Council in April for final adoption. Turnout was 22%. Full details of the result can be found here.
The Plan’s policies, which seek to protect Burpham’s green spaces and ensure development is appropriate, are already being accorded weight in the determination of planning applications within the Ward.
This is a great result and a tribute to the hard work of the Burpham Neighbourhood Forum over the last three years. I hope it inspires other local communities to come forward and prepare plans for their own futures.
