Cleobury Mortimer and surrounding area

Cleobury Mortimer is a small market town in the southeast of Shropshire, midway between the Clee Hills and the Wyre Forest. The town was granted its town market charter in 1226.

The church of St Mary's stands in the centre of the Church Street and has a famous twisted spire dating back to the 12th Century.

Place plans were developed to include a main centre (often a market town) and its surrounding smaller towns, villages and rural hinterland. These areas are recognised in the local plan as functioning geographical areas, with strong linkages to and from the main town and the wider area.

The Cleobury Mortimer and Surrounding Area Place Plan covers the area identified on the map on this page. It summarises and prioritises the local infrastructure needs which are required to support the sustainable development of the area, and identifies the wider investment needs to assist delivery of the community’s vision and aspirations.

Data and information review

The infrastructure project list is based on information submitted to us by town and parish councils in each place plan area. This information is then tested against data held by us, and further informed by consultation with a range of infrastructure providers.

By gathering this information, we've been able to understand more clearly the needs of each place plan area and use this information to make some difficult decisions about prioritisation of projects.
