Northamptonshire County Council (referred to as ‘the Applicant’) is seeking to obtain detailed planning permission for the Northampton North-West Relief Road (referred to as the 'Proposed Scheme’), located on land approximately 1.2km south-east of Church Brampton and immediately east of the Brampton Heath Golf Centre. 1.1.2. The Proposed Scheme will connect the A5199 Welford Road, via Sandy Lane, with a proposed junction located adjacent to Grange Farm, which will provide access to the land allocated for the proposed Dallington Grange development. The Proposed Scheme forms part of a wider strategy to complete the ring road around the northern sector of Northampton that will ultimately connect the A4500 Weedon Road and M1 Motorway Junction 16 to the west, with the A43 Kettering Road and Kettering to the north. Please refer to Figure 2.1: General Arrangement Design (Volume IV of the Environmental Statement Addendum (ESA)). 1.1.3. The Applicant submitted a planning application for the Proposed Scheme in June 2019 (Planning application reference: 19/00045/CCDFUL). The proposed planning application is seeking permission for: The construction of new roads on land south of the A5199 Northampton Road between the Brampton Heath Golf Centre and the River Nene, including two new roundabouts and links bridging over the River Nene to Brampton Lane and over the Northampton Loop of the West Coast Main Line to connect with the Dallington Grange development. 1.1.4. The Proposed Scheme falls under Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017 (Ref. 1-1) (hereafter referred to as the ‘EIA Regulations’). Therefore, an Environmental Statement (ES) was prepared and submitted in support of the planning application in June 2019 (hereafter referred to as the ‘2019 ES’). 1.1.5. The planning application and supporting documents, including the 2019 ES, have been subject to consultation with statutory bodies such as Natural England (NE), the Environment Agency (EA), Historic England, internal officers at Northamptonshire County Council, Daventry District Council, and Northampton Borough Council. In addition, parish councils, members of the public and other organisations have been provided with the opportunity to comment on the planning application as part of the determination process. 1.1.6. Since submission of the 2019 ES, changes to the Proposed Scheme design and traffic flow information have occurred. In line with Regulation 25 of the EIA Regulations, and in order to satisfy the requirements of Regulation 18(2) and (3), the project team have prepared further information to supplement the 2019 ES based on these changes. This “further information” is described, assessed, and reported as part of an Environmental Statement Addendum (ESA). 1.1.7. WSP has been commissioned by the Applicant to carry out updates to the EIA taking account of the updated design and traffic flow information in support of the planning application and prepare the ESA which sits alongside the 2019 ES. This work has incorporated information from further consultation with the Northamptonshire County Council Planning Department and other statutory consultees as part of the EIA Scoping process. NORTHAMPTON NORTH-WEST RELIEF ROAD PUBLIC | WSP Project No.: 70021598 | Our Ref No.: 19/00045/CCDFUL May 2020 Northamptonshire County Council Page 1 of 201 1.2 PURPOSE AND STRUCTURE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT ADDENDUM (ESA) 1.2.1. The focus of the ESA has been to identify any environmental impacts which are likely to give rise to new or different significant adverse effects as a result of the changes to the Proposed Scheme design and the updated information pertaining to the Proposed Scheme. 1.2.2. The changes to the Proposed Scheme design are presented in Section 2.0 of this document and any updated and new environmental information is presented in Section 3.0. Readers should note that the ESA is not a duplication of the 2019 ES and should be read in conjunction with the 2019 ES. WSP have consulted with the NCC Planning Department and Statutory Consultees on the approach, methodology, and scope of the ESA to ensure that it is robust and proportionate. Further detail is provided in Section 3.0 and Appendix 3.6: EIA Scoping Addendum Report (Volume III of the ESA). 1.2.3. Following the same structure as the 2019 ES, the ESA is made up of four volumes: Volume I: Non-Technical Summary; Volume II: Written Statement; Volume III: Technical Appendices; and Volume IV: Supporting Figures and Plans. 1.3 LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE ES AND ESA 1.3.1. The EIA Regulations implement the requirements of EU Directive 2014/52/EU and require that prior to consent being granted, for certain types of development, an EIA must be undertaken. The EIA Regulations set out the types of development which must always be subject to an EIA (Schedule 1 development) and other developments which may require an assessment if they give rise to likely significant effects (Schedule 2 development). 1.3.2. The Proposed Scheme falls under Schedule 2 of the EIA Regulations. It is the responsibility of the local planning authority to determine the need for an EIA through the evaluation of the sensitivity of the Site and surrounding area, and whether the Proposed Scheme has the potential to result in likely significant effects by its characteristics, location and nature of the effects (in accordance with Regulation 5 of the EIA Regulations). 1.3.3. An EIA Screening Request was submitted to the Northamptonshire County Council (NCC) Planning Department in January 2018 (please refer to Appendix 5.1: EIA Screening Request - Volume III of the 2019 ES). A response was received on 22 February 2018, within which NCC determined that the Proposed Scheme will require an EIA and advised on the topic areas that should be covered as part of the ES (please refer to Appendix 5.2: EIA Screening Opinion - Volume III of the 2019 ES). 1.3.4. An EIA Scoping Report was submitted to NCC Planning Department on 07 August 2018 together with a formal request for an EIA Scoping Opinion in accordance with Regulation 15 of the EIA Regulations ((please refer to Appendix 5.3: EIA Scoping Report - Volume III of the 2019 ES). A formal Scoping Opinion was subsequently received from NCC Planning Department on 18 September 2018 (please refer to Appendix 5.4: EIA Scoping Opinion - Volume III of the 2019 ES). 1.3.5. The findings of the EIA are presented in the 2019 ES which was prepared in accordance with the EIA Regulations as well as planning practice guidance (Ref 1-2). The ES was submitted to the NCC Planning Department in June 2019. NORTHAMPTON NORTH-WEST RELIEF ROAD PUBLIC | WSP Project No.: 70021598 | Our Ref No.: 19/00045/CCDFUL May 2020 Northamptonshire County Council Page 2 of 201 1.3.6. Following the process of identifying that the Applicant would need to submit “further information” to supplement the ES, an EIA Scoping Addendum Report was submitted to NNC Planning Department on 20 April 2020, please refer to Appendix 3.6: EIA Scoping Addendum Report (Volume III of the ESA). 1.3.7. A formal Scoping Opinion on the content of the ESA was subsequently received from NCC Planning Department on 02 June 2020, please refer to Appendix 3.7: EIA Scoping Addendum Opinion (Volume III of the ESA). 1.4 THE PROJECT TEAM 1.4.1. WSP has been commissioned by the Applicant to carry out the EIA in support of the planning application. This has incorporated technical input from environmental and technical specialists. 1.4.2. In line with Regulation 18(5)(a) – (b) of the EIA Regulations, the 2019 ES, ESA and technical assessments which inform both documents have been undertaken by a suitably qualified project team. 1.4.3. WSP is responsible for the coordination, compilation and procedural review of the ES. WSP is registered under the EIA Quality Mark operated by the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) which recognises our commitment to excellence in EIA activities. WSP was one of the original eight pilot organisations in the UK that trialled the process in 2011 and developed the EIA Quality Mark scheme from the former Corporate Registered Assessor process. We have continued to maintain our EIA Quality Mark registration, following annual examination by IEMA in relation to our ongoing products, staff, innovation and promotion of EIA within the industry. WSP has and continues to support and lead nationally recognised guidance for EIA in the UK. WSP has developed and applies an in-house set of processes, procedures and guidance for EIA based on sound project management principles. 1.5 REFERENCES Ref.

  • Northampton Local Plan
    CASTELLO FORTIOR CONCORDIA NORTHAMPTON BOROUGH COUNCIL NORTHAMPTON LOCAL PLAN 1993-2006 ADOPTED JUNE 1997 WRITTEN STATEMENT Indicating Saved Policies as amended by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government September 2007 David Moir Director of Environment Services June 1997 FOREWORD Northampton is rapidly developing town - fortunate in having within its boundary a blend of old and new. It combines a historic town centre, former village communities, modern housing areas and a diverse range of employers with parks and open spaces which extend right into the heart of the town. It is an environment of which we are proud. Almost thirty years ago Northampton was designated a new town and under the auspices of the Development Corporation, Northampton expanded significantly through the implementation of the Northampton Master Plan. The momentum of growth remains, but it is important to ensure that future development adds to the quality of the environment in Northampton. The adopted Local Plan forms the basis for all decisions relating to land use within the Borough. It reflects many comments and representations made during its preparation as well as taking on board the recommendations of a Planning Inspector appointed by the Department of Environment following a Public Inquiry into remaining objections. The Plan aims to guide the further expansion of Northampton. It seeks to conserve important open spaces, encourage a balanced mix of residential, business and leisure development and promote good sustainable transport initiatives. In essence it seeks to produce an environment which enhances Northampton for the benefit of all. In conclusion, I wish to pay tribute to the late Councillor Roger Alder who steered the Plan through the majority of its stages as chair of the Planning Committee.

  • Recollections of the First Hundred Years of Badby and Fawsley Women’S
    Recollections of the first hundred years of Badby and Fawsley Women’s Institute 1918 – 2018 Preface The original purpose of the Women's Institute was to bring together women of the countryside who might otherwise be isolated. Badby and Fawsley W.I. was formed in February, 1918 by Lady Julia Knightley of Fawsley Hall. It enabled local women to meet with others who lived in a rural setting. Activities and meetings leant toward domestic matters. Lady Knightley wished that the ladies of Badby be joined together by the 'common ideals of truth, tolerance, justice and friendship'. Protocol had to be, and was, adhered to rigidly, with some members getting irate if it was not. Rules were kept. Institutes at the beginning were considerably helped and financed by the Board of Agriculture but by 1922 the Institutes had to stand on their own feet. Lady Knightley was, inevitably, chosen as the first President. She remained President for 15 years until she moved from Fawsley. It had been her drive and energy which had caused the group’s inception because she strongly believed that belonging to the Institute would “brighten the lives and widen the outlook of the women who lived in the country districts.” Sadly all Archive material from early years has been mislaid. It was thought that it had been lodged at the County Archives but searches there have drawn a blank. 1 Meetings The first meetings were held in the ‘club room’ of the Maltsters, and then in a small room which was formerly the infant’s school room.

  • Neighbourhood Plan, Following Earlier Input from Local People, Businesses and Other Organisations Which Have Shaped It
    Made Version December 2015 Foreword This is the final Made Version of the Duston Neighbourhood Plan, following earlier input from local people, businesses and other organisations which have shaped it. This version contains a summary of the evidence base, the Vision & Objectives, Planning Policies and other Community Proposals and details on implementation. Several background and evidence documents are also available: - The Consultation Statement: This describes how local people, businesses and other bodies have been consulted on the Plan and comments, which have been made. - The Basic Conditions Statement: This explains how the Plan meets legal requirements and it also includes the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) screening. In addition, the Issues & Options Report & Parish Profile, the Policy Context, Townscape Study, reports on open space and employment are available on request as separate documents. For those who want to know a little more about the Made Plan and how it fits into the planning system, the following summary may be helpful. Neighbourhood Plans are part of the new planning system, which was introduced by the Government under the Localism initiative. This was to give people a greater say about the location and scale of development in the area and to help to protect valued landscape and community assets. They can establish general planning policies for the development and use of land. The Neighbourhood Plan forms part of the Local Development Plan for the local authority and will be used to consider planning applications. The Made Plan can influence the choice of sites and the design and layout of new housing; Neighbourhood Plans cannot propose less development than in the approved Local Plan and must reflect national planning guidance.
