Birchington Parish Council

Birchington Neighbourhood Plan and Referendum 2023

Residents of Birchington have been sent polling cards to vote on the Neighbourhood Plan on Thursday 26th October 2023.

Make sure your vote counts! Vote ‘Yes’ to accept the Neighbourhood Plan, Vote ‘No’ to not accept it.

The Neighbourhood Plan would mean that in future the Parish Council will have a greater say in planning applications that affect Birchington. Planning applications will have to meet the requirements/standards as set out in the Neighbourhood Plan and this will give much greater protection for the village going forward.

The referendum has nothing to do with the outline planning application to build 1600 homes in Birchington. This outline planning application was submitted to Thanet District Council in 2020 and this still has to be determined by their Planning Committee.
