The Neighbourhood Planning (Referendums) (Amendment) Regulations 2013
These Regulations make provision for the conduct of additional “business referendums” held under paragraph 12(4) of Schedule 4B to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (“the 1990 Act”). These Regulations only apply in relation to England. The business referendums will relate to the question of whether a neighbourhood development plan or a neighbourhood development order is approved. Provision is made by amending the Neighbourhood Planning (Referendums) Regulations 2012 (“the Referendums Regulations”). Additional referendums are provided for in paragraph 15 of Schedule 4B and are required for a neighbourhood area which has been designated as a business area and are in addition to the residential referendum for the area.
