Postwick with Witton - Neighbourhood Planning Referendum - 7 August 2025

In 2023 Postwick with Witton Parish Council submitted a Neighbourhood Area application for the purpose of developing a Neighbourhood Plan. The designated area is the whole civil parish and, in accordance with the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, Broadland District Council subsequently confirmed the designation.

Since the consultation finished, the Plan has been subject to an independent examination and the final report was received on 4 June 2025.

Broadland District Council and the Broads Authority have now considered the examiner’s recommendations and have issued a Decision Statement detailing their intention to send the Neighbourhood Plan to a referendum, subject to modifications being made as specified by the examiner.

A local referendum will be held on Thursday 7 August 2025 in order to determine whether the residents of Postwick with Witton support the proposed Postwick with Witton Neighbourhood Plan.
