WELCOME TO FELSTED
Located in north-west Essex and with a population of around 3,000, the Parish of Felsted has at its heart the historic village of Felsted, surrounded by Greens and Hamlets, in a beautiful rural setting.
Felsted retains the underlying charm and attraction of a rural parish, with the community and village at its heart. This is what attracts people to the area and what we as the Parish Council see as our historic duty to protect. Preservation of our heritage is balanced with a duty to ensure that the Parish thrives and meets the future needs of our community.
Winner of RCCE Village of the Year 2015

Felsted Neighbourhood Plan approved
We are delighted to say that after over 5 years of work and some dispiriting setbacks, our Felsted Neighbourhood Plan finally passed the Referendum yesterday.
We have a Neighbourhood Plan!
The turnout for the vote for the plan was 754, or over 31% of the electorate. Of those that voted, 687 voted in favour of the Plan and 65 voted against (2 papers were spoilt). Over 91% of those that voted were in favour of the plan. We are really pleased that the result was so clear.
From now on, the Felsted NP will be a ‘material consideration’ for the Uttlesford District Council Planning Committee and for any Planning Appeals Inspector considering any planning application in Felsted.
The Parish Council, who have supported the Plan throughout, will now have its position strengthened.
We all owe a great debt of thanks to the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group.
They have devoted thousands of hours of their time and have worked tirelessly for many years to bring this Plan to fruition for the benefit of our Community.
If you don’t know them, they are:
Roy Ramm (Chair)
Richard Freeman (Vice Chair)
Richard Silcock (Treasurer)
Diane Smith (Secretary)
Bill Miler
Margaret Attwood
John Moore
Nicholas Hinde
Dr Hywel Jones
A simple thank you to you all on behalf of the Parish Council and the people of Felsted.

Felsted Neighbourhood Plan referendum vote
It’s time to have your say and vote on the Felsted Neighbourhood Plan on 30th January.
With the Uttlesford Local Plan ruled unsound by the Inspectors, it is vital that we have our local voices heard when decisions are made regarding new house building in our Parish.
The Neighbourhood Planning process is designed to get local voices heard when making planning decisions and, in the process, delivering community facilities.
You can read the full Plan information leaflet here.
The Referendum will take place at the Felsted Memorial Hall, Braintree Road, and at the Crix Green Mission Hall between 7am and 10pm on Thursday 30th January 2020
If you have registered ONLY for a postal vote in General Elections, you WILL NOT receive a postal Referendum ballot. If you have registered for a Postal Vote in General AND Local elections, YOU WILL receive a postal ballot.
