Short answer
Moreton-in-Marsh is a market town on the Fosse Way, built on low, flat ground. The High Street has stone slate and Welsh slate roofs, and the edge of town has newer estates. Planning here is a matter for Cotswold District Council. Parts of the town flooded in 2007, so good gutters and drains matter here as much as the roof.

Moreton roofs
Along the wide High Street, most old inns, shops and houses have stone slate roofs. Some have later Welsh slate. The Curfew Tower and the Redesdale Hall stand on the same street.
The railway reached Moreton in the Victorian period, and houses built after that often have Welsh slate. The station is still on the Cotswold Line. Newer estates around the town have concrete tiles or reconstituted stone slates, with many flat roof extensions.
Conservation area and listed buildings
The centre of Moreton is a conservation area, and Cotswold District Council publishes its boundary map. Many High Street buildings are listed.
On a listed building, keep to like-for-like materials. Ask the council before you change a roof material, a chimney or a dormer. Where an Article 4 direction applies, a new roof material can need planning permission even on a house that is not listed.
Check a listing on Historic England's Search the List. The High Street is long, so the map search is often quicker than a text search.
Low ground and flood risk
As its name suggests, Moreton sits on low, flat ground. Parts of the town flooded in July 2007. Check the long term flood risk for your address on GOV.UK.
On flat ground, water has nowhere to run, and it can stand against the base of a wall for days. Ask the roofer to check that each downpipe empties into a working drain or soakaway. Flat roofs here can hold standing water, so check them after heavy rain.
Access on the High Street and nearby villages
The High Street is also the A429, and it is busy with traffic and Tuesday market stalls. Any scaffold on the High Street pavement must have a county council licence. Ask the firm to plan the work around market day.
Firms here often cover Bourton-on-the-Hill, Batsford, Blockley, Todenham, Longborough and Evenlode. Bourton-on-the-Hill, Batsford and Blockley each have a conservation area, and Blockley also has a conservation area statement.
Questions
Do I need a licence for scaffolding on Moreton High Street?
Yes, if it stands on the pavement or road. Gloucestershire County Council issues the licence. The roofer or scaffold firm normally applies.
Can a roofer help with gutters that overflow in heavy rain?
Yes. A roofer can clean, re-align or replace gutters. If the drain at the foot of the downpipe is blocked, you may need a drainage firm as well.
Who handles planning in Moreton-in-Marsh?
Cotswold District Council. Its conservation team advises on listed buildings and the conservation area.
