Moreton Neighbourhood Plan - Theme 2 - Good quality jobs and a thriving local economy

Theme 2 - Good quality jobs and a thriving local economy

The Neighbourhood Plan enables local communities to influence the planning of their local area. It is different from the normal town plans as it is developed by the residents. When approved, it has the authority of a local plan so all planning applications must be tested against it. Although the Neighbourhood Plan must be aligned with the Local Plan, it can be used to:

Develop a shared vision for the neighbourhood
Choose where new homes, shops, offices and other development should be built
Identify and protect important local green spaces
Influence what new buildings should look like and who they are for

This survey is the first step towards developing a Neighbourhood Plan and is designed to get the thoughts and ideas from as many people as we can in the local community about what is good about Moreton-in-Marsh and what needs changing.

We have 6 themes. This survey relates to Theme 2 - Good quality jobs and a thriving local economy. The aim of this theme is to facilitate and support the growth of the business base within Moreton-in-Marsh, creating more jobs across a diverse range of sectors.
