0 BPNP Consultation Statement March 2018 1.0 Introduction and Background
1.1 This Consultation Statement has been prepared in accordance with The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (SI No. 637) Part 5 Paragraph 15 (2) which defines a “consultation statement” as a document which – a) contains details of the persons and bodies who were consulted about the proposed neighbourhood development plan b) explains how they were consulted c) summarises the main issues and concerns raised by the persons consulted d) describes how these issues and concerns have been considered and, where relevant, addressed in the proposed neighbourhood development plan
1.2 The Submission Badby Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan has been prepared in response to the Localism Act 2011, which gives parish councils and other relevant bodies, new powers to prepare statutory Neighbourhood Plans to help guide development in their local areas. These powers give local people the opportunity to shape new development, as planning applications are determined in accordance with national planning policy and the local development plan (and any other material considerations) and neighbourhood plans form part of this planning policy framework. Other new powers include Community Right to Build Orders whereby local communities have the ability to grant planning permission for new buildings.
1.3 Badby Parish Council applied to Daventry District Council for Designation as a Neighbourhood Area. This was approved on 26th February 2015.
1.4 A volunteer steering group of villagers was set up by the Parish Council to help in the development of this plan. From an early stage, the steering group planned a number of events, the aim of which was to reach right across the various groups, businesses, individuals and landowners to build up a picture and evidence base for the development of the Badby Parish Neighbourhood Plan
1.5 From an early stage in the preparation of the Plan, the Parish Council through the steering group supported an approach to engage as many local people as possible in the plan process. The Submission Badby Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan is built on a firm foundation of community engagement activity including questionnaires, surveys, publicity campaigns and public events. The results of these consultation processes have been published at key stages in the plan’s preparation. The Village website ( https://badbyvillage.com/neighbourhoodplan/ ) has been regularly updated throughout the process to help ensure residents and stakeholders have been kept informed of key stages in the plan’s preparation.

2.0 Consultation Timeline Relating to the Badby Parish Neighbourhood Plan
2011 2.1 The Government’s Localism Act is passed giving power to local communities to develop Neighbourhood Plans.
2013 2.2 Parish Council started looking into a new Badby Plan to replace the 2000 Parish Appraisal. A meeting was held for parishioners at the Windmill Inn and from this a start-up group was formed. This plan was designated a “Vision for Badby” (VfB). It was not seen at this stage as progressing to a formal Neighbourhood Plan
2014 2.3 A Survey was delivered to all households in the village and the Survey Summary charts were on display at Badby Fayre. This was a pre-cursor to the development of a Badby Plan. Full details and the results of this survey can be found in Appendix B.
2.4 The decision to create a Neighbourhood Plan was taken by the Parish Council and Parishioners were invited to form a group to create the plan. It was sensible to build on the recent and relevant work utilising the “Vision for Badby” survey and the new group contained many of the VfB group plus some new members. Under the auspices of the Parish Council it took on the task of producing the Badby Parish Neighbourhood Plan (BPNP).
2015 Stage 1 Designation 2.5 Badby Parish as a Neighbourhood Area approved by Daventry District Council on 26th February.
Stage 2 Preparation of draft plan 2.6 Working groups gathered baseline information and evidence already available from the Vision for Badby survey.
2.7 In October 2015 a copy of a Badby Neighbourhood Plan leaflet was delivered to every house in the Parish. Shortly afterwards they received a visit by members of the BPNP group. This gave the householder the opportunity to discuss the plan and any queries they had. The main aim was to find out if there was support for a plan, however any comments made were also noted. 272 houses were leafleted and over 200 householders were spoken to. Some houses were unavailable when calls were made, at least two attempts were made at most houses. Not everyone wanted to comment, but the majority were positive about plan. The information leaflet and full details of the comments can be found in Appendix C
2016 2.8 An open weekend was held February 27/28 in Badby Village Hall. The open day invitation was widely circulated using all the publicity methods outlined in section 3, Publicity . Examples can be seen in appendix A
3 BPNP Consultation Statement March 2018 2.9 The Open Days had the following objectives: -
To update parishioners on progress and the process To gather the views of parishioners on the plan so far To get any new thoughts on the type of village people wanted to live in.
2.10 Display Boards showed the first draft of 5 policies: Protecting the character of the village; Protection of local sports and recreation facilities and local green spaces; Parish amenities; Transport; Infrastructure.
2.11 76 parishioners attended the open days and a summary of comments received at that time can be found in Appendix D
2.12 Sunday 25th September 2016 a further public consultation event for parishioners was held with the theme of ‘Does Badby need more housing?’ This was again widely advertised using all methods. This open event was illustrated with display boards posing questions to parishioners and inviting formal responses. This consultation event had the following objectives
To provoke discussion regarding Badby’s housing needs (type, quantity and location) To provoke discussion regarding the village confines
2.13 108 parishioners attended this consultation event and many gave their views on housing and the village confines. The analysis of their responses can be found in Appendix E
2.14 After this point work started on detail writing of the plan, which went through several drafts, all of which were made available on the village website for parishioners to see. Many comments were made in the 2014 survey and at the Open Days which were not planning issues but it was thought they should be included in the plan and these have been recorded as actions for the Parish Council.
2017
2.15 Draft policies and confines were published on the website. Parishioners present at the BPNP Steering group meetings felt that the confines were not correct. A petition was sent to the Parish Council by residents in Nene Side Close concerning the confines as drawn and the BPNP steering group re-considered the confines in light of parishioners’ comments.
2.16 It was felt that much of Badby Parish’s character derived from the beautiful views of the village in its setting and other views from around the parish, so at the Annual Parish Meeting in April a display of suggested views in and around Badby which represented the landscape and setting of Badby Parish was shown. Parishioners were asked to rank their preferences and an online poll was run on the website during May and June. This poll determined most of the views which went forward into the plan
4 BPNP Consultation Statement March 2018 Consultation Open Day and Drop in sessions October – December 2017
5 BPNP Consultation Statement March 2018 Stage 3 Regulation 14 Consultation for Pre-Submission Draft October 2017
2.16 This is a formal consultation (Regulation 14) which lasts 6 weeks and includes parishioners, statutory consultees and any other interested parties. This was run 26th October to 8th December 2017, which exceeded the minimum period of six weeks required in the regulations.
2.18 The public consultation on the Badby Parish Pre-Submission Draft Neighbourhood Development Plan October 2017 was carried out in accordance with The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (SI No. 637) Part 5 Pre-submission consultation and publicity, paragraph 14. This states that:
Before submitting a plan proposal to the local planning authority, a qualifying body must—
1) publicise, in a manner that is likely to bring it to the attention of people who live, work or carry on business in the neighbourhood area i) details of the proposals for a neighbourhood development plan; ii) details of where and when the proposals for a neighbourhood development plan may be inspected; iii) details of how to make representations; and iv) the date by which those representations must be received, being not less than 6 weeks from the date on which the draft proposal is first publicised; 2) consult any consultation body referred to in paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 whose interests the qualifying body considers may be affected by the proposals for a neighbourhood development plan; and 3) send a copy of the proposals for a neighbourhood development plan to the local planning authority.
2.19 A letter and plan summary (copies of which can be found in Appendix I and J) together with a response form were delivered to every household in the parish and a letter/email was sent to the Statutory Consultation Bodies and other consultees on a list provided by Daventry District Council. This letter and list can be found in Appendix F and G
2.20 An open day was held on Saturday 10th October at the beginning of the consultation and five further drop-in sessions at various times and days were held in the village hall during the consultation period. Members of the Plan steering group were available to answer questions and display boards outlined the main parts of the plan. Over 70 parishioners attended the open sessions and any formal responses were recorded.
2.21 Paper copies of the plan were made available at the Maltsters Inn, the Village Hall, St Mary’s Church, Daventry Public Library and at the Open Day and drop-in sessions. Copies could also be borrowed from steering group members. It was also available on the village web-site.
2.22 A response form (see appendix H) was provided and was made available for download from the village website. Respondents were invited to submit comments either by downloading and completing the form or sending comments in writing to a number of steering group members.
2.23 Full details of the responses are to be found in Section 4. All the responses submitted by the due date were given careful consideration and have been used to inform the revised Submission Draft Plan. 28 responses were received of which 19 were from parishioners.

I strongly hope the proposals in this plan are adopted. 010 Malcolm Ball . Flood and Water Management Team Northants CC Thank you for consulting Northamptonshire County Council as the Lead Local Flood Authority on the Badby Neighbourhood Development Plan. A new policy B10 Water Management has been We welcome the creation of the Badby Neighbourhood Area as Neighbourhood Planning included in the Plan. This incorporate the allows communities to have a greater say over the development that takes place in their suggestions and signposts to the consents area, and thus enables fuller consideration of the environmental risks future development required. may pose to the community. On review we are concerned that the risk of flooding to the Parish and that posed by future development has not been considered within the plan. Considering the risk associated of flooding in the area, policy measures which specifically target flood risk should be considered in the plan. For example we would always encourage that any future developments incorporate the use of Sustainable urban Drainage Systems (SuDS), and our data, which has been acquired from BGS, demonstrates that a significant proportion of the parish is potentially suitable for bespoke infiltration SuDS. More information is provided in the Local Standards and Guidance for Surface Water Drainage, which can be found here:https://www.floodtoolkit.com/planning/ The Badby Neighbourhood Plan could also be a mechanism through which development is steered away from the various flood zones and watercourses that are located within the parish. The River Nene, at this location an Ordinary Watercourse rather than Main River, is within the Neighbourhood Plan confines. We feel that it would be pertinent for any Neighbourhood Plan coming forward to signpost to the consents required to undertake works on or in close proximity to watercourses. Land Drainage Consent is required to undertake works on or within 9m of ordinary watercourses (any watercourse that conveys water that is not a main river). Further bespoke guidance for the consideration of flood risk and Neighbourhood Planning which may be of use and can be found here: http://www.floodtoolkit.com/guides/22-neighbourhood-planning-flood-risk/ It is advised that policies are established to ensure that development proposals adequately account for the risk of groundwater flooding, incorporating mitigation measures wherever possible. Our information indicates there is a very low risk from ground water flooding due to the presence of a spring around the southeast, south and south west confines of the neighbourhood plan. Our ‘Groundwater Flood Guide’ contains further information on the 10 BPNP Consultation Statement March 2018 measures which can be taken to mitigate the risks of groundwater flooding, and is available here:https://www.floodtoolkit.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/10.Groundwater.pdf Our information identifies areas of the village may be susceptible to surface water flooding, it would be good to see some reference to addressing this flood risk in the Neighbourhood Plan. There is a vast amount of advice and guidance on the Flood Toolkit (www.floodtoolkit.com) to help support this process as well as in the reports provided.
011 Geoff Pullin B1.1 As someone who would not have been in the village for the last 38 years were it not for the p.12 – 1970s building of houses, I consider that the County’s policy since then of restricting infill of Comments noted, no changes required 15 nominated villages has over the years led to them having grossly inflated house prices and para an ageing population. Witness the life breathed into this village from the 1970s compared 5.2.8 to the rural impoverished village that it had been for several decades before.
Consequently I think that the very tight drawing of the ‘confines’ is selfish and not a way to keep the village lively with a population ranged over all ages in the future.
The major problem is that government has not yet discovered a way of transferring the vast capital gain between the value of land for agricultural uses and that with planning permission for houses or industry into community capital. Thus it cannot seemingly provide timely provision of the full range of highway, social, utilities and green area provision that the existing and enlarged community expects. This plagues the entire English planning system, including highway development.
I, thus, understand that there is reluctance to identify paddocks and fields around the confines because it is nominating some landowners to make a large capital gain. Unfortunately, in pure place planning terms, this prevents the most sensible areas for immediate and future small scale and slow speed development being identified. The ability to enable the retention of an on-going rounded shapely functioning village is jeopardised.
Presumably, therefore it was thought that the only way to try to combat a developer applying for out of scale and poorly located large housing developments is to pull in the confines. What a pity! This leaves greater options for “exception” sites and the greater likelihood of a developer plumping for and winning the “wrong” one!

This proposes a Plan amended settlement hierarchy which classifies Badby as a Secondary Service Village. Policy RA2 is the relevant draft policy.

22 BPNP Consultation Statement March 2018 019 Northamptonshire County Council, Development Management Thank you for your notification regarding the consultation on the Badby Parish Draft Neighbourhood Plan. I am responding on behalf of Northamptonshire County Council key Comments noted, no action required services on which development designated in the Badby Neighbourhood Plan would have an impact, including Education, Fire & Rescue, Libraries and Broadband. Other services may submit their own responses. This response is based on the ‘Creating Sustainable Communities’ document, which is the current version of the County Council’s adopted Planning Obligations Framework and Guidance Document (Jan 2015). This sets out the County Council’s approach to Section 106 planning obligations and outlines the level and type of contributions that would usually be expected to be provided by developers towards the cost of delivering infrastructure (provided by the County Council) that is necessary to make development viable and sustainable. 020 Pete & Zelda Shapter We would like to offer our support to the Consultation plan in its entirety.

Shortly afterwards they received a visit by transport. members of the BPNP group . This gave the householder the opportunity to Community shops work elsewhere discuss the plan and any queries they had.

More facilities for children and elderly 272 houses were leafleted and over 200 householders were spoken to. Some Would like to see more provision for facilities for children houses were unavailable when calls were made, at least two attempts were Development/Housing made at most houses. The village already has restrictions for planning and building Not everyone wanted to comment, but majority were positive about a plan. Challis yard is the only place can think of for development Overall view of plan Consider the capacity of Newnham Sewage works Watch development in adjoining parishes, eg Staverton Lane Think it’s a good idea (2) developments Too old to be involved Know planning procedure – attend planning meetings of DDC Not interested Clearly defined confines of the village Thank you to the group for working on behalf of villagers Planning precedence for village – nominate sites I like Badby the way it is Can be challenged by developers when plan goes for consultation – One person in particular spoke fulsomely about how good the leaflet is, need to be sure of well worded and designed and thanked everyone for putting in the time planning grounds as in public enquiry and effort to get the plan underway Any building proposals must include land for parking for village Positive with a bit of cynical realism about DDC Housing for young people, need to keep village alive Positive about plan Development on the field behind Pound Lane/Pinfold Green Emphatically in favour of plan Development on Challis’s and top of Bunkers Hill Likes the village the way it is and hopes any development will be small Starter homes needed, fields identified near A361 scale Starter homes to be protected against buy to let so young people can Accepts need for development and welcomes chance to have input afford Not against future development, doesn’t want village to feel dead and Not against building in village if appropriate, but doesn’t want to see set in aspic fields built on Positive about idea of community involvement Thinks people in Badby generally hostile to change Landscape No confidence in DDC planning department, so did not believe in village The setting and landscape of the village is what makes it unique, not doing Neighbourhood Plan the buildings Facilities Check the landscape strategy of NCC
46 BPNP Consultation Statement March 2018 Highways/Parking This is a summary of the comments received on the Open Days on February 27th & 28th 2016 on the first draft of 5 policies. It is also includes comments made Pinfold green made smaller and cars parked on the edge subsequently via the website Buses have problems getting round cars when parked on road All households have 2 or more cars Transport Underground car park, under church Tie up infrastructure on links to commercial centres/stations Suggestion of using the verges as car parking ie lay byes cut into the Parking for visitors/residents Green Transport for elderly a good idea Concerns about parking in Nene Side, too many cars, inconsiderate Needs something more on public transport, buses and access for health facilities parking, emergency access Regular bus service is vital Links to medical facilities for the elderly. Danetre medical centre is cutting down on services transferring patients to Northampton on days where there is no bus service Parking a problem mentioned by several people, no useful suggestions, but want balance of retaining the green spaces and consideration that families may now have 3 cars for a ¾ bedroom house Consider parking problems especially round church, Bunkers Hill and Main Street, can council charge for parking? Provision for widening of existing roads Provision for cycle ways A361 maintenance for Badby to Daventry footpath
Do you agree with the policy Strongly agree = 8 Agree = 2 Neither agree or disagree = 2 Do not agree = 1
Protecting the character of the village Mostly leave it alone I totally support the selective infill approach to additional housing
Add a bit on the history of the village, Saxon ditch, monastery, ironstone village, but mix of old and new (but may be covered in general information about the village) Limiting development to the built confines is overly restrictive Control and minimise light sources on all new development D. Open Day 27/28 February 2016. Do you agree with this draft policy 47 BPNP Consultation Statement March 2018 Strongly agree = 16 Agree = 2 Neither agree or disagree = 2 Like emphasis on local employment Links to train stations important A bit more on better broadband etc Protecting Sports and Recreation facilities and Green Spaces Needs something more on public transport, buses and access for health facilities Is it worth adding the importance of wider environment and farming landscapes Would it be possible to have improved broadband fibre optic, needs to be more Convert BMX track to tasteful wooden/natural play area that can be used by reliable young families in the village No mention of any proposal for a playground for school age children. The ones Do you agree with this draft policy that are most successful are nearly always put near to the village school, I feel Strongly agree = 4 Agree = 6 Neither agree or disagree = 1 Play area for children Play facilities for the village NOW. Can’t the school playground be used out of General comment hours? Maybe allow some green areas ( beside footpaths) to be given over to car parking Expand area by woods for parking? areas, as some of the roadsides are very crowded with parked cars at time Gravel lay by at top of hill, needs repair work. Make footpath more visible down to village to encourage more people to use it.
Do you agree with this policy Strongly agree = 15 Agree = 3 Strongly disagree = 1
Housing Starter homes needed You could add something about houses for people at all stages of life, young families, elderly - want mixed development Possibly prioritise environmentally friendly development instead of large uniform development Development for local families Refers to build confines, need to show on map. Need to know what confines are Like many other residents I would like to see more smaller houses to enable younger people to move in and also allow older residents to downsize, freeing up family homes Consider building on fields, brownfield sites New Housing should be connected with centre of village/accessible from village
