A development plan for a south Shropshire town is set to be formally adopted after 84 per cent of voters decided in favour of it.
Shropshire Council is expected to approve the Cleobury Mortimer neighbourhood plan later this week when the council meets at Shirehall.Once adopted, the neighbourhood plan must be taken into account when any future planning applications are considered.
The plan includes a raft of new policies to guide future developments, and allocates new housing and business land not included in Shropshire Council’s local plan. Cleobury Mortimer’s town council kicked off the process in 2017, working with a group of volunteers to compile the draft document before a public consultation was carried out in 2021, and again in 2022.
Now, after getting public approval, the plan is set to be adopted by Shropshire Council, meaning it will take immediate effect in the planning process.
