Sarratt Says "Yes"
The Sarratt Neighbourhood Plan referendum took place on
Thursday 6th November 2025
689 votes were cast (46.1% turnout)
Yes: 666 No: 23
The result is conclusive: on a very high turnout, 97% voted in favour of the Neighbourhood Plan. This means that Three Rivers must adopt its provisions when considering all future planning decisions.
Neighbourhood Plans cannot stop all development, but they do help to prevent inappropriate development and they give local people more of a say in local planning.
Thank you for your strong and clear support, which will strengthen our local voice at a time when the District Council Local Plan and Government planning changes are introducing new development threats.
The next Sarratt Parish Meeting is on the 9th December at 19:30 in the Rear Hall at the Village Hall Sarratt.
If you would like to attend to speak about any of the following Planning Applications – please feel free. You have 3 minutes to state your case at the start of the meeting; you don’t have to stay for the complete evening.
