Neighbourhood Plan Referendum · Thursday 24 September 2026
for the Broad Hinton, Winterbourne Bassett & Uffcott Neighbourhood Plan
After years of hard work and local consultation, our Neighbourhood Plan is ready. On Thursday 24 September 2026, every resident on the electoral register can vote on whether it should be used to help decide planning applications in our area.
A YES vote gives Broad Hinton, Winterbourne Bassett and Uffcott a real say over the sort of development that happens here, and the sort that doesn't.
Our Plan sets the rules Wiltshire Council must follow. Without it, developers and government inspectors have far more scope to decide what gets built and where. A Yes vote means we set the rules.
Our Plan protects the cricket pitch and Pitchens End green space, the Winterbourne Bassett village green, the White Horse, key views around our villages, dark skies, and community facilities.
Our Plan tackles a real problem: local prices lock out many young families and local workers, and smaller, high-quality homes for downsizers are rare. Design standards on height, density, materials, parking, lighting and environmental performance, keep new homes fitting our villages' needs. Local connection criteria prioritise affordable homes for local people.
Our Plan brings a new sports pavilion, community shop, more parking for the school and village hall, and, finally, a children's playground. The Community Infrastructure Levy rises from 15% (capped) to 25% (uncapped) providing money for local priorities.
Our Plan only takes effect if we vote Yes. A Yes voter that doesn’t vote is a No vote.
