Thank you for visiting our consultation website
The initial formal public consultation period for our proposals has ended.
We will analyse the feedback received before we submit our planning application.
Statutory consultees (e.g. Environment Agency / Highways England / Natural England / Parish Councils) and local residents will have the opportunity to formally comment on our application once submitted and registered with the Local Planning Authority.
You can find out more below.
Land East Of Evenlode Road, Moreton-in-Marsh.
Thank you for visiting our consultation website to find out more about our proposals.
The proposals include up to 150 new homes (including affordable housing) and public open space.
As part of designing a high-quality development we are seeking to capture the vision, values and ideas of the community.
We want to provide local residents an opportunity to provide feedback before working up final plans which will be submitted as part of an outline planning application to Cotswolds District Council later in the process.

We will update this website on a regular basis as our proposals and our planning application for the site progresses. The website contains information on the proposals, plans and external links to useful sites that we hope you will find informative. Submit your feedback using the 'Have your Say' form, or by using any of the other feedback options detailed on this website. |
The Local Plan
Cotswold District Council is producing an update to its Local Plan which aims to deliver up to 1,000 homes per year, double the previous requirement of around 500 homes.
A Local Plan guides decisions on future development proposals and addresses the needs and opportunities of the area. Local Plans usually cover items such as housing, employment and retail, and they also identify where development should take place, along with areas where development should be restricted.
Currently Cotswold District Council does not have a 5-year housing land supply.
This means that not enough land has been identified and approved for new housing to meet government targets over the next five years. To count towards the 5‑year supply, sites must be “deliverable” within five years, i.e. with planning permission granted or local‑plan allocation, with realistic delivery prospects.
Around 80% of the district is within the Cotswold National Landscape, where development is heavily restricted making it difficult to allocate sufficient sites within deliverable areas.
There are currently approximately 1,650 people on the Council’s housing waiting list, and in the current plan Moreton-in-Marsh identified as one of 17 principal settlements in a sustainable location suitable for accommodating future housing development.
