Joint Henley and Harpsden Neighbourhood Plan

What’s happening now?

On 24 November 2022, residents voted for the adoption of the Joint Henley and Harpsden Neighbourhood Plan review. The official results were:

• Votes in favour of adopting the neighbourhood plan (YES vote): 1,207 (81.6%)
• Votes against adopting the neighbourhood plan (NO vote): 266 (18%)
• The number of ballot papers rejected: 6 (0.4%)
• Turnout: 1,479 (15.3%)

Section 3 of the Neighbourhood Planning Act 2017 (as amended) gives neighbourhood plans full legal effect once they have passed their local referendum.

The neighbourhood plan will be presented to South Oxfordshire District Council where the decision will be taken on whether the plan should be made and continue to be part of the development plan.

Take a look at the Joint Henley and Harspden Neighbourhood Plan Review (Referendum Version). The policies in this plan carry full weight in determining planning applications.

The Joint Henley and Harpsden Plan Review replaces the Joint Henley and Harpsden Neighbourhood Plan made on 14 April 2016.
