People living in Market Overton are being invited to share their thoughts on a new neighbourhood plan.

The plan has been formally submitted by Market Overton Parish Council.

The Neighbourhood Plan sets out how Market Overton should be developed over the period to 2036 and has been prepared by Market Overton Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group, following consultation with the local community.

It includes policies covering design, housing, the environment, the local economy and community facilities.

The submission plan and supporting documents are available to view on the Neighbourhood Planning section of Rutland County Council's website.

Hard copies of these documents are also available to view at Rutland County Council’s offices in Oakham and the foyer area of Market Overton Village Hall. The hall is open for viewing at the following times:

Mondays from 5.00pm-6.00pm and 7.00pm-8.00pm

Tuesdays from 5.00pm-8.00pm

Wednesdays from 10.00am-1.00pm

Thursdays from 10.00am-4.00pm

Fridays from 9.30am-12.30pm

Consultation on the plan runs until 5.00pm on Thursday 15th September 2022.

Once the consultation has closed, all representations and comments received will be passed to an independent examiner who will consider the representations and recommend whether the Neighbourhood Plan should be put to a community referendum.
