The result of the referendum on the Orleton and Richards Castle Neighbourhood Development Plan is as follows:
77% voted yes;
23% voted no.
There was a 35% turnout.
The declaration of results is available to download for your information – Declaration of Result of Poll.
The next stage will be for Herefordshire Council to make/adopt the plan. This process will take around 4 weeks.
I thought the turn out needed to be 50% for it to be adopted.
Please let me know if this is correct.
Dear Mr Mason,
The 50 percent refers to those who voted rather than the turnout. So of those who voted, more than 50 percent voted yes to the question that was asked.
Kind regards,
R Hewitt,
Clerk.
