# Joint Melksham Neighbourhood Plan 2

[United Kingdom](https://electionsarchive.com/gb.md) / [England](https://electionsarchive.com/gb/england.md) / [Wiltshire Council](https://electionsarchive.com/gb/wiltshire.md), July 31, 2025

Passed with 88.8% voting yes.

> A neighborhood planning referendum under Schedule 4B of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Neighbourhood Planning (Referendums) Regulations 2012. Voters registered in the neighborhood area were asked whether Wiltshire Council should use the neighborhood plan to help it decide planning applications there; the council makes the plan part of its development plan if more than half of those voting say Yes. The neighborhood area is not a single parish, so it is shown within Wiltshire Council's area rather than drawn on its own.
