Neighbourhood Plans are designed to give people a greater say in future planning decisions for their areas.
WLDC planning committee chairman Coun Stuart Curtis said: “Both plans have been independently assessed and their content approved.
“Now everyone of voting age who lives in the designated Neighbourhood Plan areas will have the chance to have a say on the proposals at referendums so please make your vote count.

Residents registered on the electoral roll will receive a ballot paper or postal voting paper.
The referendums will take place within the parishes of Caistor and Nettleham on Thursday, January 28.
