Section 6 of the Neighbourhood Planning (Referendums) Regulations 2012 specifies a limit on the amount that can be spent on campaigning for the referendum. This is calculated via the formula £2362 + (0.059*N), where N is a number of electors in the relevant register. By reference to this, the limit that will apply in relation to the Referendum is £2409.91. The number of persons entitled to vote in the Referendum by reference to which the limit has been calculated is 812.
The referendum will be conducted based on procedures similar to those used in local government elections.
