Outcome:

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose:

Content: Councillor Layton confirmed that she was happy with the content of the amended annex A.   It was reported that the Moreton-in-Marsh Neighbourhood Plan was at the Regulation 14 consultation stage, which would run for six weeks.  It was advised that, following this stage, the Town Council would review the consultation responses, update the draft plan, and submit it under Regulation 15. It was noted that there was no statutory timescale for progressing from Regulation 14 to Regulation 15, and the timing would therefore depend on the Town Council’s revisions.   It was further reported that Cotswold District Council’s Regulation 18 Local Plan consultation was scheduled to commence on 5 November 2025. The Officer confirmed that emerging Neighbourhood Plans must be in general conformity with the current Local Plan. Despite emerging Local Plan documents being publicised and consulted on, they carry no material weight in the planning process, and cannot be considered, for example, when preparing the response (Annex A) to Moreton. Officers confirmed that ongoing discussions with Moreton-in-Marsh Town Council would continue to support the process.

Date of Decision: October 9, 2025
