Neighbourhood Plan

The Yaxham Neighbourhood Plan has now reached its final phase after going through all the public consultations and planning inspectorate tests and scrutiny. Breckland District Council has now sent out voting cards for the Neighbourhood Plan Referendum to be held on Thursday 19th March 2026. This has recently been publicised by the Parish Council through a newsletter that was delivered over the weekend Sat 28th Feb – Mon 2nd March 2026. The Neighbourhood Plan Working Group encourage parishioners of Yaxham Parish to vote in the referendum. More information can be found under NP Working Group newsletters where the current issue of the Parish Council newsletter dedicated to the referendum can be found.

On this page you can find the up to date neighbourhood plan pdf as well as supporting documents.
