/in , /by

WNC’s Planning Policy Committee meeting on 8th January 2025 will consider the draft Local Plan (Reg 18) and when it will go to public consultation. – the meeting papers can be found here:- https://westnorthants.moderngov.co.uk/mgChooseDocPack.aspx?ID=3056

UPDATE – it is expected to go to Public Consultation at the start of February 2026 for 8 weeks.

The Parish Council will consider the draft Local Plan in due course but as a brief outline the following aspects relate to Boughton Parish:-

  • 1,500 houses are proposed for North of Buckton Fields under Policy N20 (below is a screenshot of Figure 16, page 186, taken from the draft Local Plan. The Council will request a better quality image for circulation).
  • Boughton is defined as a Secondary Service Village under Policy R2 (previously it was proposed that Boughton would form part of Northampton Town for planning purposes – presumably this is no longer the case but the Council will seek clarification).
  • under Policy R6 Boughton is to provide a minimum of 42 houses up to the year 2043 (this appears to be an additional allocation to the 1,500 proposed, the Council will seek clarification)
  • It is proposed to amend the village confines to remove houses on Harborough Road North (below is a screenshot of the proposed boundary. The Council will request a better quality image for circulation).
