Neighbourhood planning gives communities the power to prepare a shared development vision for their area.  This neighbourhood plan seeks to shape, direct and help to deliver sustainable development by influencing the planning policies and decisions made by Shropshire Council in Cleobury Mortimer Parish.
Neighbourhood plans must conform with local plan policies and can amplify the planning decision-making framework. 
This neighbourhood plan will help ensure that planning proposals take account of Cleobury Mortimer Town’s circumstances and needs.
Decisions about planning applications must comply with policies in the Development Plan.  In Cleobury Mortimer, this means that planning decisions must pay heed to the policies in this neighbourhood plan when it has passed its Referendum in 2021. 
Shropshire Council has informed the Town Council that around 140 new houses and 1 hectare of employment land will be required to meet local need up to 2038.  The neighbourhood plan seeks to ensure that this housing provides the necessary infrastructure and protections to ensure that the Town will continue to be a wonderful place to live.
The plan has been prepared by a Steering group of Town Councillors and has had input from Town Council staff and members of the public.
