Tenterden Neighbourhood Plan Referendum result

Residents vote YES to the Neighbourhood Plan.

Yes: 88%

No: 12%

Following six years of hard work, by a small, but dedicated team of resident volunteers and town councillors, the Tenterden Neighbourhood Plan went to Referendum on Thursday 15th August 2024.  Residents voted in favour of adoption of the Plan by Ashford Borough Council, the local planning authority.

Town Mayor, Cllr Sue Ferguson said that “sincere thanks to everyone who committed their time, energy and diligence to creation and achievement of a Neighbourhood Plan for Tenterden and St. Michaels. Without their dedication and local knowledge, this significant task could not have been achieved”.

The Tenterden Neighbourhood Plan will now be presented to the next available meeting of the Cabinet at Ashford Borough Council for formal adoption as planning policy.
