The fully adopted Neighbourhood Plan may be found by clicking on the hedgehog image above.

A review process is starting to take place with a new steering group to be formed in Spring 2025. All updates will follow in reverse date order.

7th December 2024

A very busy time at Holt VC Primary School Christmas Fair in the Village hall from 12-3pm.

Councillors Bloomfield, Fox and Learoyd were on hand to chat to everyone about the Holt Neighbourhood Plan review process.

We invited everyone to pop a counter in a pot to show their most important issues for Holt.

Our Hedgehogs made an appearance. Holt is a rural parish and everyone does their upmost to protect the wildlife. We thought a hedgehog would be a good visual for our Neighbourhood Plan review.

We also had informative flyers to give out to people to explain the process. We hope to do a letterbox drop soon to all businesses and residents within the Parish. It is important to form a steering group as soon as we can, with a range of members, so we can fully begin the review process in 2025. This is a plan for the whole of Holt parish so we must ensure consideration is given to the wider area as well as the residential village.

The Post it notes were a great addition to our stand at the Fayre and we thank everyone for taking the time to participate.

Councillors noted a lot of issues remain the same from our 2016-2026 plan as well as some new ideas for improvement and issues to explore. A full report will be posted here in the New Year.

Thank you to everyone who came to see us and if you are interested in becoming a member of the steering group to review the Holt Neighbourhood Plan please email clerk@holtparishcouncil.gov.uk.

Please click on the hedgehog symbol below to see a copy of our informative leaflet about the Holt Neighbourhood Plan review.

We hope to be delivering them soon to all households and businesses within the parish as well as being available to pick up from local places.

6th December 2024

Parish Councillors will be at the School Christmas Fayre in Holt Village Hall from 12-3pm on Saturday 7th December (TOMORROW!).
Come and chat to us about reviewing the current Holt Neighbourhood Plan and anything you want to tell us about Holt – loves and hates and any suggested resolutions!
The steering group also needs residents to join, so the review process can continue in 2025. Please consider joining the steering group for a year to help Holt have a new Neighbourhood Plan. 

October 2024

If anyone is interested in being part of the Steering Group please use the contact us form for Holt Parish Council. The Holt Neighbourhood Plan review cannot take place without residents joining Councillors as a Steering Group. We aim to meet monthly and get the review complete in 2025. Feedback will be provided at each monthly Parish Council meeting.

Holt Neighbourhood Plan

Wiltshire Council have taken the decision pursuant to Section 38A(4) of the Planning & Compulsory Purchase Act, 2004, to ‘make’ the Holt Neighbourhood Plan. The Holt Neighbourhood Plan now forms part of the Wiltshire Council Development Plan and the policies in the Neighbourhood Plan will be given full weight when assessing planning applications that affect land in the Holt Neighbourhood Area. A copy of the Holt Neighbourhood Plan and Wiltshire Council’s post-referendum Decision Statement will be available on Wiltshire Council’s website at: http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/planninganddevelopment/planningpolicy/neighbourhoodplanning

The Neighbourhood Plan 2016-2026.

We have collated the archive of the development here so you can track back through the evolution and see all the various documents which have informed the process. They are grouped by year and have reasonably explanatory titles. There is an up-to-date index to the archive called: HNP Audit Trail Index 28.9.16

Please explore and feel free to download any of the documents. If you have any queries or comments, please contact The HNP steering group via the contact form for the Parish Council.
