Moving scenery as required (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

necessary

'required' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'moving scenery as' is the wordplay.
'moving' is an anagram indicator.
'scenery'+'as'='sceneryas'
'sceneryas' is an anagram of 'NECESSARY'.

(Other definitions for necessary that I've seen before include "the money?" , "Indispensable, essentional" , "Vital" , "Required, needed" , "obligatory" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
