The question to be asked will be “Do you want Daventry District Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Badby to help it decide planning applications in the Neighbourhood area?” A straight Yes or No answer is required and the result will be determined by 50% plus 1 of those who vote.
Hard copies of the Plan can be viewed at St. Mary’s Church, the Maltsters (closed Monday) or DDC Offices in Daventry.
