Referendum to be held over town’s development plan
A referendum is set to be called over a new development plan for a south Shropshire town.
Shropshire Council’s cabinet is expected to give the go-ahead next week for the Cleobury Mortimer neighbourhood plan to proceed to a public vote.
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.
If a majority of voters support the document, the full council will be asked at a future meeting to adopt it as part of the statutory development plan for the area.
It would make the town only the seventh community in the county with an adopted neighbourhood plan.
