WNC’s Draft Local Plan – Consultation Monday 8 April to Sunday 2 June
WNC have released the following statement:
“Pe
ople across West Northamptonshire are being invited to have their say on the draft Local Plan strategy which enables West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) to plan for the future of the area positively and sustainably by guiding decisions on future development proposals and creating places where people wish to live, work and visit and will thrive.
The draft Plan sets out a vision and objectives for the area, its ambitions for new development and commitment to dealing with climate change. The Plan allocates land for housing and employment and contains a series of planning policies for these and many other topics such as leisure, transport, health and wellbeing, infrastructure and the environment and where development can and cannot take place.
Once adopted the new Plan will replace current plans that cover West Northamptonshire and form part of the development plan against which planning decisions are made.
This consultation is gives residents the opportunity to get involved with this stage of the local plan process and will help WNC consider and address issues before a final draft is produced.
People can have their say from Monday 8 April to Sunday 2 June by visiting the Local Plan consultation.”

The Council will be discussing WNC’s proposal to change the Northampton planning boundary to include Boughton at the next Council meeting on 11 March 2024, 7pm at the Village Hall.
WNC have confirmed “in terms of public consultation on the boundary changes, the Regulation 18 version of the new Local Plan (due for public consultation in April/May) will include the draft criteria for defining the Northampton boundary, but there will not be a suggested boundary shown on the draft policies map at this stage. It is envisaged that the draft boundary line will be included in the Regulation 19 version of the Local Plan/policies map (due for consultation in early 2025).”
If you wish to attend the Council meeting, please let the Parish Clerk know so she can set the room accordingly.
