The Lichfield city neighbourhood plan was adopted following a successful referendum, on 17 April 2018 our cabinet agreed to make the Lichfield city neighbourhood plan, which now forms a part of the development plan for Lichfield District.

The referendum for the Lichfield neighbourhood plan took place on 22 February 2018 and local residents voted in favour of the neighbourhood plan:

  • 57% voted in favour
