  • Cottesbrooke Conservation Area Review
    Slide 1 Cottesbrooke Conservation Area Review 28th July 2021 West Northamptonshire Council Slide 2 Rhian Morgan – Heritage Policy Officer Anna Wilson – Heritage Policy Assistant Slide 3 Conservation Areas in the Daventry Area • District wide conservation areas review- including Cottesbrooke • First designated in 2000 • First opportunity in over 20 years to appraise the conservation area The council has a statutory duty to undertake conservation area reviews, both of its existing conservation areas as well as exploring the possibility of new designations, so a district-wide review is currently being undertaken which includes Cottesbrooke. Conservation areas form some of the most architecturally and historically interesting settlements in the Daventry area and Cottesbrooke certainly falls into that category with its variety of historic buildings, the historic layout of the village, the shrunken medieval settlement earthworks and its connection to Cottesbrooke Hall, gardens and landscape park. Cottesbrooke was first designated as a conservation area in 2000 and it hasn’t been reviewed since then. So it’s over 20 years since the last review and, therefore, it is a good opportunity to look at the current boundary to see if it’s fit for purpose or if there are any areas that have changed during that period which means they no longer merit being in the conservation area. As part of this process, an up-to-date appraisal and management plan will be produced, which conforms with current best practice and both national and local policy. If the appraisal

With the rise of rural house prices in recent years and the lack of available properties, local people are being forced to move away from their community in order to find housing they can afford. Daventry District has a growing population, to add to this the structure and size of households is also changing. When new households are formed or circumstances change, people may find their home unsuitable and it is therefore important that there is an adequate amount of housing to accommodate their needs. The provision of affordable housing is high on Daventry District Council’s agenda, as part of our vision to build a better district it is prioritised under the objective: “Healthy, Safe and Strong Communities and Individuals”. To this end the Council has been undertaking a rolling programme of affordable housing provision, which is based on robust evidence of housing need and local information – provided by Housing Needs Surveys. This report summarises the findings of the Housing Needs Survey in Cottesbrooke, undertaken during June and July 2012 Strategic and Planning Context Daventry District Council has a number of policies and strategies to help deliver housing in both planning policy and housing strategy terms.
