The draft plan was submitted to independent examination and a hearing in public was held in Much Wenlock in October 2013. The examiner advised that the plan met the basic conditions subject to some recommended modifications. The modified plan was put to a parish referendum on 22nd May 2014. There was a 41.8% turnout, and 84.6% of those voting said "yes" to the referendum question: “Do you want Shropshire Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Much Wenlock to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area.”
