In the referendum held on 20th February, Edenfield residents were asked a simple question, “Do you want Rossendale Borough Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for the Edenfield Neighbourhood Area to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?”
Turnout was 38.7% and of those who voted, over 95% voted in favour of the Neighbourhood Plan.
The Council now has to make an Order for the Neighbourhood Plan to become part of the Rossendale statutory development plan within the next eight weeks.
Thank you to all those who voted and to everyone who has supported us during the many years it has taken to get the Neighbourhood Plan in place.
