Calling all development land and site owners in West Northamptonshire

 

West Northamptonshire Council is due to begin a new consultation phase on the ‘Regulation 18 Preferred Options’ to kick off its new Local Plan. Recently-published Officer Reports indicate that the consultation is provisionally scheduled to run from 8th April until 2nd June 2024. 

 

This will be the first draft of the new Local Plan for West Northamptonshire and contains the Council’s vision, objectives, spatial strategy, planning policy framework and specific development management policies. The draft Plan has already been informed by responses received to the Issues and Options document during the consultation in Spring 2022. It has also been informed by the new and updated evidence base that has been prepared including research on specific issues relating to housing, climate change and Biodiversity Net Gain, as well as emerging Council and regional strategies. Once adopted, this Local Plan will guide the overarching planning policies, broad location of new development and detailed planning policies until 2041.
