A few key things about a neighbourhood plan:

• it is created by the local residents.
  Here in Moreton-in-Marsh, a group of local residents is driving the plan forward (see "About Us")

• it is important that the plan represents the views of the local community.
  We have held a number of consultation events and there is a document below that outlines in detail what those were. The final consultation will be organised by CDC prior to a referendum. 

• the plan covers the area shown in Figure 1 - the town of Moreton-in-Marsh

• the plan will be valid until 2040 

• the plan has two parts:

  • policies - against which all planning applications have to be judged

  • projects - changes that the local community want to see happen. These are not guaranteed to happen, but provide the local council with ideas which they can work towards

• before the plan comes into operation, it has to be approved by the local council, an independent inspector and finally by the local residents.
