Chief Executive of Northamptonshire County Council Page 2 of 7 Daventry District Council – Northamptonshire County Council Concordat BACKGROUND There is a growing positive relationship between Daventry District Council and Northamptonshire County Council. Northamptonshire countywide initiatives, such as the Local Area Agreement, require our collective commitment. West Northamptonshire-wide initiatives, such as ensuring infrastructure- led MKSM growth, require our collective commitment. Daventry district-wide initiatives, such as economic regeneration, require our collective commitment. Collaborative working is normal practice, but its momentum needs to translate, ultimately, into delivery of tangible benefits to the public. This Concordat sets out principles reflecting the way in which Daventry District Council and Northamptonshire County Council will work in collaboration at both the political and administrative levels. The Concordat is a commitment to embed a culture of mutual partnership support. It will therefore be a ‘living’ Concordat and capable of project and service update over time. It reflects the real world of constant change. MUTUAL AIMS Both Daventry District Council and Northamptonshire County Council are committed to this Concordat and share a vision to: Build a Better Daventry District and Northamptonshire County overall … and share objectives to: Create and sustain thriving communities. Improve the economy by nurturing business, creating wealth and increasing skills. Protect and enhance environmental assets. Provide the necessary infrastructure to facilitate sustainable growth and improved quality of life. Page 3 of 7 Daventry District Council – Northamptonshire County Council Concordat MUTUAL CHALLENGES Geographically, one of the challenges that Daventry district, West Northamptonshire and Northamptonshire county face is accommodating and harmonising population and development growth with existing communities and areas. This inevitable challenge is to be translated into opportunity. Organisationally, actions to realise the vision and objectives, whilst responding to the specific growth challenge, cause Daventry District Council and Northamptonshire County Council to mutually recognise and accept that it is in the interest of our residents and customers to work together to: Prioritise mutual agenda. Avoid duplication of effort. Adopt a problem solving approach and remove obstacles to progress as appropriate. Share resource. Improve project and service delivery. MUTUAL AGENDA Specific mutual tasks and responsibilities covered by this Concordat are: A.

Local Economic Development and Regeneration (via Daventry Masterplan and Town Centre Vision for example). C. Strategic Planning of Growth (via Local Development Frameworks and Masterplanning). D. Strategic Waste Planning and Management. E. Local Customer Management (via One Stop Shop and media releases). F. Strategic and Local Scrutiny Support (via formal Overview and Scrutiny legislation). Page 4 of 7 Daventry District Council – Northamptonshire County Council Concordat MUTUAL BENEFITS Arising from the mutual agenda should be delivery of key benefits, namely: A1. Mutually agreed COPELA3 method and findings. A2. Mutually agreed economic assessment as relating to Daventry District. B1. Mutually endorsed Daventry Masterplan and Town Centre Vision. B2. Financial contributions given to, or at least not sought from, ICON project and other such projects designed to achieve mutual agenda and mutual benefits. C1.

Member and officer participation in joint overview and scrutiny of mutual agenda delivery, in order to foster continuous improvement. Page 5 of 7 Daventry District Council – Northamptonshire County Council Concordat MUTUAL GOVERNANCE The Concordat is not designed to cause a formal bureaucracy in support. It does not have legal force or override any legal obligations that affect delivery of the mutual agenda. It is terminable by either party serving notice on the other, but this does diminish the intention and resolve of each party to ensure a long and productive joint working arrangement and culture. The Concordat is designed to be practiced and binding in honour. Page 6 of 7 .

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 Holdenby Parish, undertaken in March/April 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.
