Market Overton's Neighbourhood Plan should be developed over the period to 2036 and has been prepared by Market Overton Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group after consultation with the local community. It includes policies on:
- design
- housing
- the environment
- the local economy
- community facilities
Referendum
A public referendum is scheduled to take place on Thursday 23 February 2023, where residents of Market Overton parish will be asked:
'Do you want Rutland County Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for the Parish of Market Overton to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?'
If the plan is successful at referendum it will be 'made' (adopted) by us - this means it will become part of the area's development plan that all planning applications will be assessed against.
