It’s time for you to vote on your Neighbourhood Plan – the final stage of the Neighbourhood Plan process.
Thurs 4th Sept 2025 Harston Village Hall 7am – 10pm.
In order for the Plan to be adopted it has to be voted on by residents and gain a majority of ‘yes’ votes. When you vote, you will be asked the following question:
Do you want South Cambridgeshire District Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Harston to help decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?
You can vote ‘Yes’ or ‘No’
If a majority of people vote ‘yes’, the Plan will come into force.
This would mean in the future any planning decisions within our Parish will be made in accordance with policies in the Plan.
The Plan will help to shape the future development and use of land in our village.
Who can vote?
The referendum will be organised and paid for by S Cambs who will send out voting cards.
You will be able to vote if you are registered and entitled to vote in local council elections; ie live in village and over 18.
If not already registered to vote, you can register online at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote. If you are unable to attend the polling station to vote in person, you can apply to vote by post or by proxy at:
