1. Introduction

1.1 The Part 2 Settlements and Countryside Local Plan for Daventry District (Part 2 Plan) follows on from the adoption of the West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy (WNJCS) (Part 1) in December 2014. Building on the WNJCS, it is being prepared to help further guide planning decisions in the area and, once adopted, will form part of the Development Plan for the District with the WNJCS and made neighbourhood development plans.

1.2 This document sets out how Daventry District Council has involved the community and other interested parties in the preparation of the Local Plan up to its submission to the Secretary of State. It shows how the Council has complied with Regulations 18, 19 and 20 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 (referred to as the ‘2012 Regulations’) and how it has undertaken engagement in accordance with the 2012 Regulations. An earlier version of this Statement of Consultation was produced in August 2018 to accompany the Proposed Submission Part 2 Local Plan.

1.3 This Statement of Consultation updates the August 2018 version to provide details of the consultation and representations that were received to the Proposed Submission Local Plan (Regulation 19) in accordance with Regulation 22.(1)(c). It should be read alongside the Submission Part 2 Plan, the evidence base documents and the relevant background papers which also provide a summary of the responses raised at different stages and how they have been addressed, all of which are available on the District Council’s website.1

1.4 Regulation 22.(1)(c) of the 2012 Regulations requires the Local Planning Authority to include amongst its submission documents a statement setting out;

i. which bodies and persons the local planning authority invited to make representations under regulation 18,

ii. how those bodies and persons were invited to make representations under regulation 18,

iii. a summary of the main issues raised by the representations to regulation 18,

iv. how any representations have been taken into account in the development plan document (the Part 2 Plan)

v. If representations were made to regulation 20, the number of representations made and a summary of the main issues raised in those representations; and

vi. If no representations were made to regulation 20, that no such representations were made;

1.5 The Local Plan Planning Practice Guidance2 identifies that there is flexibility for how local planning authorities carry out the initial stages of plan production, providing that it meets the requirements in Regulation 18 of the Local Plan Regulations on consultation and with their Statement of Community Involvement3.

1.6 The relevant stages of consultation in the development of the Part 2 Local Plan are set out below;

 Regulation 18 - Issues Consultation (October-November 2012)

 Regulation 18 - Consultation on Issues and Options (January – March 2016)

 Regulation 18 - Consultation on Emerging Draft Plan (November 2017 to January 2018)

 Regulation 19 - Consultation on Proposed Submission Plan (August – October 2018)

1.7 Alongside these distinct stages of consultation, further consultation was undertaken through ongoing stakeholder engagement including workshops and seminars, for example consultation on a Settlement Hierarchy methodology undertaken in 2016.

1.8 The key stages in the preparation of the Part 2 Local Plan are set out below which reflect the Local Development Scheme 2017-2019 although the submission date is slightly later than previously anticipated (November 2018). The earlier Issues Consultation in 2012 is not included because the work restarted in the context of the adopted WNJCS.

1.9 The outcome of each consultation stage of the Part 2 Local Plan and how it has shaped the next stage of the plan has been reported through the Council’s Strategy Group. A copy of the reports, agendas and minutes of these meetings can be found on the Council’s website4. In addition, the responses received to each stage have been uploaded on to the website in a timely manner after the close of consultation.

1.10 In July 2012 Strategy Group and Full Council approved the establishment of a Local Plan Steering Group with the purpose of supporting the preparation of the Settlements and Countryside Local Plan. The Council nominated members for the Steering Group. In September 2015 Strategy Group and Full Council approved an extension to the purpose of the Steering Group to include the Gypsy and Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Local Plan and the Housing Supplementary Planning Document. Again, Council nominated members. Steering Group has met on a regular basis since 2015 and receives updates from officers on preparation of the Local Plan, duty to cooperate and other strategic planning matters including conservation area reviews and neighbourhood plans. The Steering Group considers and comments on progress although formal decision making on all aspects remains with Strategy Group and Full Council.

1.11 The consultation and engagement on the different stages in the production of the Part 2 Plan has been carried out in accordance with the Council’s Statement of Community Involvement (SCI). The SCI was originally produced in 2006, partially reviewed in 2012 and then reviewed again and brought into effect in May 2017.

The SCI outlines how, when and who should be consulted at each stage of the Plan’s production and can be viewed on the Council’s website5.

1.12 A consultation database was set up at the beginning of the plan-making process which complies with the 2012 Regulations as it includes;

 Relevant Authorities - which includes adjoining Councils, Northamptonshire County Council, Parish Councils

 Specific Consultation Bodies – which includes agencies such as the Environment Agency, Historic England, Highways England and Natural England.

 General Consultation Bodies - those who have expressed a desire to be involved such as agents, developers, landowners, societies, charities, special interest groups, neighbourhood plan groups, hard to reach groups and members of the public

1.13 The database has been kept up-to-date throughout the different consultation stages.

Duty to Cooperate

1.14 An important aspect of the local plan making process is the duty to cooperate which is a legal duty for local planning authorities, county councils and public bodies to engage constructively and actively to maximise the effectiveness of local plan preparation. The duty to cooperate has been undertaken on an ongoing basis, at each stage of the plan-making process. This is set out in more detail in the Duty to Cooperate Background Paper (GEN3).6

2. Consultation on Issues and Options – 29th January to 11th March 2016

Purpose of consultation

2.1 The Issues and Options consultation followed the earlier Issues consultation in 2012. It is regarded as the first stage of the Regulation 18 consultation and was identified as a formal Regulation consultation. Its purpose was, in light of the WNJCS (adopted in December 2014), to establish what issues need to be considered and what options could be used to address them.

2.2 Two separate Issues and Options consultations were undertaken, a Part 2a covering general planning matters and a Part 2b specifically covering Gypsies, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople, as at the time of consultation the intention was to produce two separate local plans. The consultation documents set out a series of issues which ranged from the duty to cooperate, vision and objectives, to policy area specific issues including where further housing at Daventry should be located. For each issue one or more questions were asked to generate responses on the proposed approach or a preferred approach from a number of options.

2.3 The consultation was undertaken for 6 weeks running from 29th January 2016 to 11th March 2016 and was carried out in accordance with the SCI.

Who was invited to make representations?

2.4 All consultees listed in the database were included and informed directly of the consultation. For the purposes of the duty to cooperate the following are specific or statutory bodies who were consulted on the Issues and Options and continue to be consulted throughout the Part 2 Plan process:

 Environment Agency  Historic England  Natural England  Civil Aviation Authority  Homes England  Primary Care Trust (or other bodies mentioned in section 19 subsection 3 of the National Health Act 2006)  Network Rail  Highways England  Marine Management Organisation  All parish councils and neighbouring authorities

2.5 The consultation documents (Part 2a and 2b) were accompanied by Sustainability Appraisals.

7

How were people invited to make representations?

2.6 Emails and letters were sent to all those listed on the consultation database including specific bodies and statutory consultees to inform them about the consultation. Comments were invited using the official response form which was available in hard copy, electronic pdf and online Survey Monkey formats. Consultees were able to submit their comments by post, email or using the online form.

2.7 A press release was issued at the end of January 2016 to publicise the consultation. This encouraged residents, businesses and landowners to get involved in shaping the future of the District. The press release and press cuttings from January and February 2016 are contained in Appendix A.

2.8 Five public exhibitions were held in different parts of the District to raise awareness of the Part 2 Plans and to give people the opportunity to speak to officers. The exhibition dates and venues were as follows:

 Woodford Halse Village Hall, 9th February, 4-7pm

 Welford Village Hall, 10th February, 4-7pm

 Moulton Village Hall, 11th February, 4-7pm

 Crick, Old School House23rd February, 4-7pm

 Long Buckby Community Centre, 24th February, 4-7pm

2.9 At the exhibitions, a set of display boards introduced the Part 2 Plans, the key issues, consultation and invited comments. Hard copies of the consultation documents were available, together with response forms and summary leaflets. During the consultation period the Council offices hosted a permanent display of documents and consultation materials. The documents and materials were also made available at the public libraries in the District, namely Daventry, Brixworth, Long Buckby, Moulton and Woodford Halse. The display boards and leaflet are reproduced in Appendix B.

2.10 Two workshops were organised for district councillors, parish councillors and county councillors at Daventry Working Men’s Club and Naseby Village Hall in February 2016. These took the form of a presentation about the WNJCS and the issues for the Part 2a and Part 2b Plans which was followed by workshop sessions to consider specific issues. For the Part 2a these were to consider the strategic options for Daventry town’s growth; types of services and facilities that would be used to define the settlement hierarchy; how confines should be defined; and the

8

Daventry and Northampton fringe issues. For the Part 2b, the workshop considered site sizes, whether pitches should be on existing or new sites, whether sites should be allocated or come through development management and tenure.

2.11 A dedicated webpage on the Council’s website7 was set up to provide information about the Part 2 Plans, key issues, consultation arrangements, how to get involved by visiting the exhibitions and guidance on how to make comments. It provided links to download the documents and materials and explained the next steps. The website has been kept up to date as plan preparation progresses.

2.12 The Part 2 consultations provided the opportunity for landowners to submit sites for consideration across the District under a ‘call for sites’ exercise. Notifications were sent to everyone on the consultation database, parish councils and exhibition attendees who had left contact details. In addition, ‘call for sites’ forms were available at the Council’s offices, libraries and downloadable from the Local Plan webpage. The purpose for the ‘call for sites’ was to feed into the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) and to inform site allocations in the Part 2 Plans.

Summary of main issues raised

2.13 There were 109 responses to the Part 2a consultation and 40 to the Part 2b; the respondents are set out in Appendix C. These were reported to Local Plan Steering Group in April 2016 and updates on evidence gathering provided in subsequent meetings. A summary of the responses was published on the website in May 20168 and all the respondents were notified that these documents were available to view. An update on the plan preparation was published in Daventry Calling in March 2017 to update residents on progress and to encourage them to make comments to the Emerging Draft consultation. A copy of the article appears in Appendix D.

2.14 The issues that generated the greatest number of responses were as follows:

7 Part 2 Local Plan homepage: www.daventrydc.gov.uk/living/planning-policy/part-2-local-plan/

8 Part 2a & Part 2 Issues and Options Consultation responses available from: www.daventrydc.gov.uk/living/planning-policy/part-2-local-plan/previous-stages/ (FSD06) 9

Part 2a Settlements and Countryside

Issue 8 – Daventry town centre boundary, primary shopping area and primary and secondary frontages

2.15 Most respondents considered that the town centre boundary and primary shopping area had been correctly defined, although there were suggestions for additional areas that could be included. There was general support for the definition of the primary and secondary shopping frontages.

Issue 13 – the direction of growth for Daventry town housing

2.16 There was no overall consensus on the option for Daventry’s growth, however, d) consolidation of existing sites within the town and e) an alternative not listed, received marginally more support than the other options. Suggestions for option e) included higher density town centre development. Landowners were also invited to submit land for consideration in the Housing Land Availability Assessment (i.e. a call for sites). This is dealt with in Section 4.

Issues 6, 18 – Daventry town regeneration and employment areas

2.17 Some representations made the point that a locally based employment and economic assessment was required to better understand the local dynamics of employment land supply and demand. In particular, there was a need to consider the demand for non-strategic B2 and B8 development to support the growth and expansion of Daventry. This view was supported by officers from Economic Development.

Issues 23, 24 and 25 – settlement hierarchy and services and facilities

2.18 These issues related to the types of services and facilities which would be used to define the settlement hierarchy. The WNJCS suggests a list of ‘most important services and facilities’, ‘important facilities and services’ and ‘other facilities’. The question about ‘most important services and facilities’ resulted in the largest response with most respondents agreeing with the list in the WNJCS although additional facilities were suggested. On the question about the scoring mechanism, most respondents agreed but others suggested that it should be refined to reflect quality and capacity.

2.19 On the question of how the criteria in policy R1 of the WNJCS should be used to define the settlement hierarchy, most respondents favoured option C which was a combination of scoring and description with a focus on key settlements and the road network.

10

Issues 26 and 27 – village confines

2.20 Criteria had been suggested for defining village confines which had been adapted from the saved policies of the Local Plan, with some additional criteria. These were generally supported, although some thought they should not be drawn too tightly. There was agreement that confines should be defined for primary and secondary service villages, however, some suggested that they should also be defined for ‘other’ villages. The policies map should show the boundaries. There was also a suggestion that the confines should be defined through neighbourhood plans and village design statements.

Issue 32 – landscape

2.21 There were a number of opposing representations to the continued use of the Special Landscape Area with some supporting it and others considering it to be out of date and not justified. It was recommended that evidence for any designation should be based on a variety of landscape evidence. The local designation of Local Green Space was also raised as a possibility.

Issue 34 – Northampton and Daventry fringes

2.22 On the issue of the fringe areas there were opposing views on whether a designation was appropriate. Representations that supported a continuation of Green Wedge policy designation favoured a defined mapped area as opposed to a criteria based policy. Suggestions for criteria for defining the fringe area were put forward. Reasons for deleting the Green Wedge were on the basis that it is not strategic and not in the WNJCS. Criteria based policies for ecological and landscape designations should be used instead. The concept of a Green Belt was not supported.

Issue 57 – Parish Annex and Local Green Space

2.23 There was general support from parish councils for the concept of a parish annex and that Local Green Space would be an appropriate inclusion. One representation stated that designations should be justified and properly evidenced.

Part 2b Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople

2.24 All the issues apart from issue 12 generated a similar level of responses:

Issue 1 – Site allocation

2.25 The general feeling was that pitches should be allocated in the Part 2b plan rather than coming through planning applications.

11

Issue 2 – Policy H6 site criteria

2.26 The general consensus was that further criteria were not required.

Issue 3 – site size for Gypsies and Travellers

2.27 The majority of respondents favoured 4-6 pitches.

Issue 4 - site location for Gypsies and Travellers

2.28 The preference was for additional sites over extensions to existing sites.

Issue 5 - Site tenure

2.29 The preference was for local authority or housing association management.

Issue 6 – Emergency stopping places

2.30 The majority of respondents stated that emergency stopping places should contain 1-4 pitches.

Issue 7 – Mixed planning use Traveller sites

2.31 The majority of respondents indicated that there was no need for an additional policy.

Issue 8 – Site location for Travelling Showpeople

2.32 The responses did not reveal a clear steer for a location.

Issue 9 – Rural areas and the countryside 2.33 Most respondents considered that there was no need for an additional policy.

Issue 10 – rural exception sites

2.34 Most respondents considered that there was no need for an additional policy.

Issue 11: Major development sites

2.35 The majority of respondents favoured a commuted sum.

Issue 12 – duty to cooperate

2.36 Responses suggested that discussions should take place with neighbouring local authorities and the Police.

Issue 13: other issues

2.37 It was suggested that a maximum tenure period should be specified.

3. Engagement in Technical and Evidence Base Work

3.1 This section only includes details of technical and evidence base work which has involved engagement with stakeholders. It took place throughout the preparation of the plan following Issues and Options and has informed the Emerging Draft version of the Local Plan.

Housing and Employment Land Availability Assessment

3.2 As noted in paragraph 2.16 above, landowners were invited to submit sites for consideration in the LAA as part of the Issues and Options consultation. 78 responses equating to around 130 sites were submitted to this initial ‘call for sites’. These related predominantly to residential and employment uses on sites both at Daventry town and throughout the rural area of the District.

3.3 The Council undertook a combined consultation for the LAA and Settlement Hierarchy methodologies in summer 2016 and at the same time, opened up nominations for a second round of ‘call for sites’. The consultation went out to parish councils, statutory consultees and all individuals on the consultation database. The consultation lasted from the 5th August to the 16th September 2016. It resulted in 17 responses to the LAA methodology and 9 new sites being submitted for consideration. The responses were reported to the Local Plan Steering Group in October 2016. The Housing and Employment Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) sets out the responses to the methodology in Appendix C9.

3.4 Three workshop sessions for potential allocations at Daventry South East, Daventry South West and Daventry North were also held. Chaired by the OPUN design review body, they included officers of the District Council (covering policy, development management, conservation and heritage, landscape and environmental health), site owners and promoters, the Council’s landscape advisers and as appropriate, Northamptonshire County Council (Highways, Public Transport and Archaeology), Historic England and public transport representatives. The Site Selection Background Paper10 (GEN6) provides more details of the process of site selection.

3.5 The Emerging Draft proposed housing allocations HO1 Daventry South West, HO2 Daventry, Micklewell Park and HO3 Daventry, Land at Middlemore. Employment allocations at Daventry town were EC5 Land off Newnham Drive, EC6 The Knoll, EC7

10 Site Selection Background Paper available here and from: www.daventrydc.gov.uk/living/planning-policy/part-2-local-plan/evidence-base (GEN6)

13

Land north of Nasmyth Road and EC8 Daventry South East Gateway (also a regeneration site). Town centre allocations were EC2 North of High Street and EC3 Land to the north and west of Daventry Town Centre. In addition, the Emerging Draft designated Strategic Employment Areas under policy EC4 and protects them for employment generating uses.

Demand for small and medium units

3.6 A large amount of strategic B8 development has occurred in the District and local business intelligence had indicated that there was a demand for small and medium units (up to 10,000sqm). A study11 was undertaken to assess the likely future demand for additional employment space, other than large scale warehousing. The study reviewed the demand for all employment uses and involved stakeholders, including agents, developers and investors through a stakeholder workshop and individual engagement.

3.7 The study found that there was a substantial demand for small to medium sized units particularly at Daventry town. The emerging draft Local Plan therefore allocated sites for non-strategic employment uses, EC5 land off Newnham Drive, EC6 The Knoll, EC7 Land off Nasmyth Road and EC9 Daventry South East Gateway.

Settlement hierarchy

3.8 The Council undertook further work on village services and facilities and proposed a settlement hierarchy methodology which involved a quantitative and qualitative assessment of most important services and facilities, important facilities and services and other facilities, together with a scoring mechanism. The consultation on the methodology took place alongside the LAA methodology consultation from August to September 2016.

3.9 Responses were received from parish councils, statutory consultees and the development industry. There was general support for the methodology, however, the development industry sought to alter it to ensure sites they are promoting are in villages towards the top of the hierarchy. Some parish councils were concerned about the implications of their village being higher up the hierarchy if this meant that they would experience pressure for additional growth. Other relevant factors put forward include the capacity of services and facilities and accessibility to towns.

3.10 The responses were reviewed, however, it was considered that the methodology was appropriate and it was used to classify settlements in the Emerging Draft Plan and to draft policies for each category (RA1 Primary Service Villages, RA2 Secondary

11 Employment land in Daventry: the demand for small and medium units available here and from: www.daventrydc.gov.uk/living/planning-policy/part-2-local-plan/evidence-base (ECO3) 14

Service Villages, RA3 Other Villages and RA4 Small Settlements and Hamlets). The responses were reported to Steering Group in October 2016. The Settlement Hierarchy Background Paper12 (GEN5) incorporates a Summary of Responses and Note of any Required Changes at Appendix K.

Parish Annex

3.11 The Council organised a Parish Annex workshop for Daventry Town Council and parish councils. This took place on the 23rd May 2017, with the purpose of exploring how Local Green Space could be included in the Part 2 Local Plan for parishes without a neighbourhood plan and to see if there were any other relevant issues that an annex could cover. After the workshop the Town Council and all parish councils, including those that had not attended, were invited to nominate Local Green Spaces by the middle of July 2017. The nominated sites were assessed against criteria in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and either proposed for designation or not accepted. The Local Green Space Assessments13 (BNE2) set out the assessment of every site nominated. Policy PA1 in the Emerging Draft sets out how Local Green Space identified in the Part 2 Plan will be protected. During the consultation period, parish councils who had not nominated Local Green Space were given a final opportunity to submit sites.

Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople

3.12 The evidence for Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople accommodation to support the Part 2 Plan was updated in 201714. This was prompted by a need to update previous evidence which informed the WJNCS and the publication of a revised version of Planning Policy for Traveller Sites, which changed the definition of Travellers for planning purposes. The methodology involved stakeholder interviews and engagement with members of the travelling community living on all known sites. The household questionnaire used in the Study is contained in Appendix D of the Study.

3.13 The outcome of the Study was that because no Gypsy and Traveller households met the planning definition the need for pitches was 0, however, there could be a need for 6 pitches from unknown households who meet the definition. In addition, there

15

was a need for 1 emergency stopping place. Policy HO8 Gypsies, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople in the Emerging Draft set out this need and included criteria for planning applications, which largely follow WNJCS policy H6.

Housing Market Evidence

3.14 Housing evidence relating specifically to older person’s accommodation and support needs across Northamptonshire was produced in 201715. This identified a need in Daventry for older person’s dwellings, care home places and at least one dementia care unit. The study involved a survey of local registered providers to collect their views on the condition and suitability of their older persons housing stock, which can be found in Annex 5 of the study.

3.15 Policy HO7 Housing Type and Mix sets out the housing mix and type requirements needed to address housing needs in the District. This includes smaller market and affordable dwellings, accessibility standards, space standards, water efficiency, support for and criteria for assessing applications for specialist accommodation that promote sustainable living and a requirement that the sustainable urban extensions provide such accommodation.

Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy

3.16 The evidence base for open space, sport and recreation was updated in 201816 and assesses all aspects, namely built facilities, playing pitches and open spaces. Each part of the strategy considers the demand and supply of facilities. The conclusions and recommendations identify the facility network which will be required to meet the needs of the District as a whole. The strategies were developed following extensive consultation with stakeholders, organisations including sports clubs and individuals. Daventry Town Council and parish councils were also directly consulted regarding their open spaces and facilities. Part 1 of the Open Space Study (Part 1, Profile, Policy Context and Engagement) provides details of the consultations.

3.17 The Open Space Strategy proposed quantity, quality and accessibility standards which were included in Emerging Draft policy CF2.

Viability Assessment

3.18 The NPPF requires local planning authorities to give consideration to ‘viability and costs in plan-making and decision-taking’. The Council undertook a viability assessment17 to assess the policies and site allocations to ensure that after taking account of policy requirements, land values should be sufficient to ‘provide competitive returns to a willing landowner and willing developer’.

3.19 A developer workshop was held in July 2017 to consider the key issues and assumptions that would be used for viability testing. The workshop involved the Home Builders Federation, developers, agents and registered providers. A note of the workshop is included in Appendix B of the Viability Assessment. The Assessment concluded that apart from brownfield sites in the urban and rural area the plan would not be unviable.

4. Consultation on Emerging Draft – 27th November 2017-26th January 2018

Purpose of consultation

4.1 Strategy Group on the 12th October 2017 considered the revised Local Development Scheme and agreed that going forward, the Part 2a and 2b plans should be combined into a single Local Plan. Strategy Group on the 16th November 2017 considered and approved the Emerging Draft Part 2 Local Plan for consultation. This was the second stage of the Regulation 18 consultation and was identified as such.

4.2 The Emerging Draft Part 2 Local Plan contained a wide range of planning policies, site allocations and designations under the following chapter headings, which will supplement the WNJCS:

 Daventry District Spatial Strategy

 Meeting the District’s housing needs

 Vibrant Economy

 Sustainable transport

 Built and natural environment

 Community facilities

 Parish Annex

4.4 The plan comprised the written statement and a Policies and Inset Map book and was supported by a Sustainability Appraisal, technical evidence and background papers, all of which were available from the evidence base pages of the Council’s website.

4.5 The consultation was undertaken for just over 8 weeks from 27th November to 26th January 2018 and was carried out in accordance with the SCI.

Who was invited to make representations?

4.6 All consultees listed in the consultation database were included and informed directly of the consultation. The database was kept up-to-date and included respondents to the Issues and Options consultation and those that had asked to be added to the database.

18

4.7 During the consultation period, the Council also invited parish councils who had not already nominated Local Green Spaces to submit sites.

How were people invited to make representations?

4.8 Following Strategy Group on the 16th November 2017, the Council contacted Daventry Town Council and parish councils to inform them of the upcoming consultation. The email/letter contained a poster which advertised the consultation and public exhibitions, which parish councils were encouraged to place in public notice boards in their villages.

4.9 As with the Issues and Options consultation, consultees were informed by email and letter and comments were invited using the official response form or Survey Monkey. Consultees were able to submit their comments by post, email or online.

4.10 A press release was issued in November 2017 to publicise the consultation and a follow up/reminder press release was issued in January 2018. During the consultation the Council’s homepage featured an article which explained the consultation and directed viewers to the Local Plan webpages. A short information video was also produced, which was viewable from the homepage, Facebook and Twitter. Throughout the consultation period the District Council issued posts on social media to raise awareness of the consultation and exhibitions. These posts were shared by a number of parish councils and local interest groups. The two press releases, related press cuttings and social media posts are contained in Appendix E.

4.11 Nine public exhibitions were held across the District to raise awareness of the Emerging Draft and to give people the opportunity to speak to officers. The exhibition dates and venues were as follows:

 Weedon Village Hall, 28th November, 3-7pm

 Naseby Village Hall, 29th November, 3-7pm

 Moulton Library, 30th November, 2-6pm

 Daventry Library, 1st December, 10-6pm

 Welford Village Hall, 4th December, 3-7pm

 Crick Old School, 5th December, 3-7pm

 Long Buckby Community Centre, 6th December, 3-7pm

 Dryden Hall, Woodford Halse, 6th December, 3-7pm

19

 Brixworth Library, 7th December, 2-6pm

4.12 At the exhibitions a set of display boards introduced the Part 2 Plan, explained the purpose and period of the consultation, headlines, policy issues for Daventry town and the rural areas and how to comment. Hard copies of the consultation documents (including the Sustainability Appraisal) were available, together with response forms and summary leaflets. The Council offices hosted a permanent exhibition and the documents and materials were made available in the libraries. The poster, display boards and leaflet are reproduced in Appendix F.

Summary of main issues raised through consultation on the Emerging Draft Part 2 Local Plan

4.13 A list of respondents is set out in Appendix G. Following the close of the consultation, the Council produced a Report of Responses which was published on the Local Plan webpages. Where consultees submitted supporting technical appendices and maps, these were also uploaded to the website. Consultees were notified that the report and supporting documents were available.

4.14 The issues raised during the consultation, together with the Council’s responses and proposed actions are summarised in the Summary of Representations, received to the Emerging Draft with Responses and Actions document18 which can be downloaded from the Part 2 Local Plan webpages. The key issues were reported to the Local Plan Steering Group in February 2018 and later meetings and Strategy Group and Full Council in July 2018. They are summarised below.

Northampton Related Development Area

4.15 A key issue related to housing delivery in the Northampton Related Development Area (NRDA), which was raised by site promoters, South Northamptonshire Council (SNC) and Northamptonshire County Council. The basis of the objections from the councils was that the Plan does not address the current shortfall in five year land supply in the NRDA and that the Green Wedge designations around Northampton would prevent this being addressed. This was specifically raised as a duty to cooperate matter. SNC suggested that a criteria based policy should be adopted, which is the approach they were taking in their Part 2 Plan.

18 Summary of representations and proposed actions available from: www.daventrydc.gov.uk/living/planning-policy/part-2-local-plan/ (FSD4)

20

Rural areas

4.16 A number of representations were received from site promoters requesting allocations be made in numerous rural settlements. Representations were also received from parish councils and site promoters to the categorisation of various settlements within the hierarchy.

Housing

4.17 The site promoter of the main housing allocation at Daventry South West made representations about the extent of the Green Wedge. It was suggested that it could be reduced to accommodate additional housing, without compromising its function in that location. Northamptonshire County Council as the Highway Authority also raised concerns about the principal access to the site.

4.18 The site promoter of the Micklewell Park extension proposed an additional parcel of land for inclusion in the allocation.

4.19 Kettering Borough Council objected to the Gypsy, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople policy, on the basis that the evidence base was not robust and could result in the need for residential pitches to be underestimated.

Employment

4.20 Representations were received from site promoters proposing additional employment space at Crick and Brixworth.

4.21 Historic England objected to part of the proposed Daventry South East Gateway site, identifying concerns about the impact on the Burnt Walls Scheduled Monument.

4.22 A number of representations questioned why DIRFT was not included as a Strategic Employment Area and the lack of a specific policy.

Environment

4.23 Representations were received to ENV1 on the basis that it was too restrictive for a general landscape policy. The Special Landscape Area (SLA) designation and policy received a number of representations, including from a number of parish councils (Brixworth, Maidwell with Draughton and Pitsford). The representations were to the non-inclusion of areas that are currently designated as SLA in the saved Local Plan.

4.24 Related to the NRDA issue, there were a number of objections to the proposed Green Wedge designations, particularly at the Northampton fringe.

21

Parish Annex

4.25 In addition to the above issues which were reported to Strategy Group (July 2018), a number of parish councils submitted additional sites for consideration as Local Green Space (LGS). Other parishes challenged the non-designation of LGS.

How the representations were taken into account

4.26 The Proposed Submission Plan largely followed the Emerging Draft. Changes were only made where considered necessary as a result of representations received, factual updates, new evidence gathered or where further clarification was considered necessary. The changes are set out in the Composite List of Changes to the Part 2 Plan19 (FSD04-2).

Northampton Related Development Area

4.27 The Council has been engaged in discussions with South Northamptonshire Council (SNC) and Northamptonshire County Council through the duty to cooperate to attempt to address this issue. It is not considered that the solution suggested by SNC is justified in Daventry district and that the issue will be a matter for the review of the WNJCS rather than the Part 2 Plan. The Council has also produced a Northampton Related Development Area Background Paper20 (GEN4), which sets out the position in response to the representations and assesses the Green Wedge policy against the NPPF and WNJCS. No changes to the extent of the Green Wedge have been made, however, changes have been made to policy ENV3 to remove reference to proposals having to maintain the predominantly open and green character of the Green Wedge.

Rural areas

4.28 Due to the WNJCS rural housing requirement having been exceeded, there is no requirement for additional rural allocations. The Settlement Hierarchy Background Paper21 (GEN5) was updated to take into account changes to services and facilities and bus services. Despite this, however, no changes have been made to the hierarchy.

22

Housing

4.29 The Daventry Fringe section of the Daventry Landscape Study was reviewed in 22 relation to the representation to the Green Wedge at Daventry South West (LAN1- 14). This concluded that an area could be removed without significant harm to the function of the Green Wedge, providing appropriate landscape enhancement and mitigation is put in place. At the same time, a heritage impact assessment was undertaken for all the proposed Daventry allocations which concluded that impacts arising from the development on the historic environment at Daventry South West can be appropriately mitigated. This additional technical work has resulted in changes to policy HO1 to refer to landscape mitigation and the policies map amended to extend the allocated area.

4.30 The capacity of the Micklewell Park extension has also been extended and the policy and policies map amended to reflect this. A consequential change is an additional policy - Micklewell Park Development principles (HO3)- to guide development of the whole site, comprising the site with outline permission and the proposed allocation.

4.31 The evidence base relating to Gypsies, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople is considered to be robust. A meeting was held with Kettering Borough Council (referenced in the Duty to Cooperate statement) where DDC reiterated that whilst there is no need for residential pitches, this would not preclude proposals coming forward through development management. The supporting text has been changed to clarify this. The policy has also been changed to remove the specific needs figures.

Employment

4.32 The additional sites at Crick and Brixworth were not considered to be justified against the strategy and evidence base which identifies Daventry town as the focus of additional demand.

4.33 As a result of the representation by Historic England to the Daventry South East Gateway policy and allocation, the Council undertook heritage impact assessments (HIA) for all the proposed allocations. In terms of Daventry South East Gateway, the HIA concluded that the impacts on Burnt Walls and other heritage assets could be appropriately mitigated. This has been addressed through changes to policy EC9

22 Review of representation to Daventry South West available here and from: www.daventrydc.gov.uk/living/planning-policy/part-2-local-plan/evidence-base (LAN1-14)

23

and the supporting text. Correspondence with Historic England on this issue is set out in the Site Selection Background Paper.23 (GEN6)

4.34 A new policy for DIRFT was included in the Proposed Submission (policy EC10), which covers the whole of DIRFT and seeks to safeguard it for B8 uses.

Environment

4.35 The general landscape policy ENV1 has been amended to require applicants to demonstrate that landscape harm can be mitigated. In response to the representations to the Special Landscape Area (SLA), an additional criterion supports the inclusion of appropriately evidenced local landscape designations in neighbourhood plans.

4.36 The Special Landscape Area Study was reviewed in relation to the area at Brixworth which is proposed to not be included in the SLA. The review concluded that the 24 area does not warrant designation (LAN1-15). No change has been made to the extent of the SLA, however, policy ENV1 has been amended as described above.

4.37 As explained in paragraph 3.33 above, heritage impact assessments were undertaken for all the proposed Daventry allocations. As a result, additional criteria relating to the HIAs have been included in site allocation policies for Daventry South West (HO1); Daventry, land north of High Street (EC2); Daventry, land to the north and west of town centre (EC3); Daventry, land north west of Nasmyth Road (EC7); and Daventry South East Gateway (EC9).

Parish Annex

4.38 The nominated sites and sites whose non-inclusion had been challenged were assessed against the NPPF criteria. This resulted in a number of additional LGSs being taken forward in the Proposed Submission Local Plan. They are listed in Appendix I of the Proposed Submission Plan and shown on the policies and inset maps. The Local Green Space Assessments25 (BNE2) contains details of all sites nominated for designation.

5. Consultation on Proposed Submission – 13th August-5th October 2018

Purpose of consultation

5.1 The Council’s Strategy Group considered the Proposed Submission Part 2 Local Plan for consultation on the 5th July 2018. Council then approved the representation period at its meeting on the 26th July 2018. This was the Regulation 19 consultation which is identified as a formal Regulation consultation and is the version of the plan that the Council intends to submit to the Secretary of State.

5.2 The Proposed Submission Local Plan and Policies and Inset Maps booklet were accompanied by the following documents:

 Sustainability Appraisal and Addendum

 Habitats Regulation Screening Assessment

 Statement of Consultation

 Statement of Representations Procedure Notice

 Viability Assessment

 Equalities Impact Assessment

5.3 In addition, various background papers, supporting evidence base documents, the Composite List of Changes to the Part 2 Plan and Summary of representations received to the Emerging Draft consultation with responses and actions were published26.

5.4 Consultation took place from the 13th August to the 5th October 2018, which was in excess of the statutory six weeks required by the Regulations to make allowances for the summer holidays.

Who was invited to make representations?

5.5 All consultees listed in the consultation database were informed directly of the consultation. The database has been kept up-to-date and included respondents to the most recent Emerging Draft consultation and those that had asked to be added to the database.

26 Proposed Submission Local plan and supporting documents available from: www.daventrydc.gov.uk/living/planning-policy/part-2-local-plan/ 25

How were people invited to make representations?

5.6 Following the Council meeting on the 26th July 2018, the Council contacted Daventry Town Council and parish councils to inform them of the forthcoming consultation. The email/letter contained a poster which advertised the consultation and public exhibitions, which parish councils were encouraged to place in public notice boards in their villages. Hard copies of the poster were also sent out to parish councils at the start of the consultation.

5.7 Consultees were informed by email and letter and comments were invited using the official response form, which was also available as an online Survey Monkey form. Consultees were able to submit their comments by post, email or online. At Regulation 19 stage, representations can only be made about legal compliance, the duty to cooperate and soundness. A guidance note to explain this accompanied the response form, which was based on the Planning Inspectorate’s model form contained in “Procedural Practice in the Examination of Local Plans”27. The form recommended that respondents read the procedural practice document before completing the form and provided a link to the document. In addition, the Statement of Representations Procedure Notice28 provided details of how representations could be made.

5.8 A press release was issued at the start of the consultation and a feature appeared in the District Council’s magazine ‘Daventry Calling’ in late September as a reminder, with information where the documents could be viewed and the closing date. Throughout the consultation period the Council issued posts on social media to raise awareness of the exhibitions. The press release, Daventry Calling feature and examples of the social media posts are contained in Appendix H.

5.9 During the consultation the Council’s homepage and Current Consultations webpage contained a brief overview of the consultation. The Local Plan webpage set out full details of the consultation, including the public exhibitions, how comments could be made, the response form and the documents referred to in paragraphs 5.2 and 5.3 above. A separate Evidence Base webpage29 contained the background papers and supporting evidence.

5.10 Four staffed public exhibitions were held across the District to give people the opportunity to view the Proposed Submission plan and speak to officers. The exhibition times and venues were as follows:

 Brixworth Library, 3rd September, 2-6pm

 Daventry Library, 5th September, 9.30am-6pm

 Naseby Village Hall, 6th September, 3-7pm

 Moulton Community Centre, 12th September, 2-6pm

5.11 At the exhibitions a set of display boards provided information about the Proposed Submission plan, headline proposals for Daventry town and the rural areas, exhibition dates and how to comment. Hard copies of the consultation documents (including the Sustainability Appraisal and Addendum, Habitats Review Screening Assessment, Statement of Consultation and Statement of Representations Procedure Notice) were available, together with response forms and summary leaflets. The Council offices hosted a permanent exhibition and the documents and materials were also made available in the libraries. The poster, display boards and leaflet are contained in Appendix I.

Summary of main issues raised through consultation on the Proposed Submission Part 2 Local Plan

5.12 106 respondents made submissions, however, nine of these were either incomplete or did not comment on the plan. The 97 remaining respondents made a total of 278 representations. A list of respondents is set out in Appendix J in both representation order; the representations are available to view in full on the Council’s website30. Late submissions were not accepted.

5.13 The Council has prepared the ‘Summary of Representations to Proposed Submission Plan and Council Response’ (PSD11), which should be read alongside this updated Statement of Consultation. Issues raised through consultation on the Proposed Submission Plan include:

30 Proposed Submission Responses: www.daventrydc.gov.uk/living/planning-policy/part-2-local-plan/local-plan-proposed-submission-responses

27

Legal compliance generally

5.14 The Sustainability Appraisal should have considered as a reasonable alternative, further development in the rural areas for employment and housing.

Duty to Cooperate

5.15 Developers have raised concerns regarding the Duty in respect of meeting the needs of the NRDA. Sites should be allocated to meet the need. No Local Authorities have objected to the plan on the grounds of the Duty to Cooperate.

Sustainability Appraisal

5.16 Pegasus representing a number of landowners and developers across the District considers that the SA is deficient because it does not assess the likely impacts of the reasonable alternatives. Due to the shortfall of delivery at Daventry town, the Council should review the WNJCS and revise the SA to assess the reasonable alternatives, which would include rural sites.

Infrastructure delivery

5.17 Department of Education is not clear if the plan is sound with regard to education infrastructure because relevant evidence base has not been presented. Site allocations HO1 and HO3 require 2FE primary schools. Site allocations are welcomed in principle but need to be justified based on evidence of need and capacity.

Spatial Strategy

5.18 The strategy does not include an effective mechanism for dealing with unmet needs of the NRDA. The Council’s policy response of keeping the situation under review is not sufficiently proactive. The Plan should allocate sites or include a criteria based policy to meet this need. This should be addressed under the Duty to Cooperate.

5.19 The plan is not positively prepared. Delivery at Daventry town has not progressed as quickly as anticipated and additional development in the rural areas should be allowed for.

5.20 By restricting growth in the rural area, the strategy does not protect and enhance existing services and facilities in the villages and rural areas

5.21 The plan is seeking to meet housing needs from the WNJCS which will soon be out of date. A review is required and no meaningful start date for this has been established.

28

5.22 The strategy is not the most sustainable with respect to employment provision and there is no strategy to meet a specific level of jobs.

Development in the rural areas

5.23 Developers and site promoters have continued to raise concerns that the plan is too restrictive in the villages and should provide more flexibility to allow further growth and to ensure a 5 year land supply is maintained. This has also been justified in the context of meeting needs identified at Daventry town where question marks about the deliverability of the allocations have been raised. A number of sites across the villages have been promoted, some put forward as allocations or reserve sites.

5.24 Developers and promoters of rural sites consider that the plan should support additional services and facilities in rural areas.

5.25 Specific concerns regarding the position in the hierarchy were raised from some villages, highlighting concerns with the settlement hierarchy methodology. Staverton, Badby and Pitsford (including residents and the Parish Council) and Boughton (residents) consider they should be classified as an Other Village rather than a Secondary Service Village. Maidwell PC feel they should be reclassified as a Secondary Service Village rather than an Other village. As at Emerging Draft stage further comments on villages’ positions in the hierarchy were put forward from site promoters, Bidwells consider that Byfield and Yelvertoft should both be Primary Service Villages and that Brixworth should be given a special status in the hierarchy that is above a Primary Service Village.

Meeting the District’s housing needs

5.26 A number of developers have objected to policy HO8 on the basis that the space, accessibility and water standards are not justified based on the evidence and the policy regarding housing mix is not flexible enough.

5.27 Site promoters who have interest in the rural areas do not support the approach to addressing the shortfall at Daventry town with further allocations at Daventry town, some questioning whether the housing market can sustain the levels anticipated. Marrons representing Barwood Homes have specifically questioned the delivery of the sites that form the basis of the 5 year land supply. The general consensus from such site promoters is that they consider more allocations in the rural areas are needed to provide greater flexibility in housing land supply. The issue of flexibility has also been raised by the Home Builders Federation. The developers of Daventry North East (Pegasus representing Barratt and Davidsons Developments), the SUE allocated in the WNJCS, have also questioned whether the housing market at Daventry town can sustain the delivery of that site and

29

Daventry South West and consider some more flexibility in the rural areas is needed.

5.28 Some residents have objected to Daventry South West on the basis that it is an unsustainable location, cut off from the town by the A45.

5.29 The promoters of the allocated sites at Daventry support the plan and Nexus who are promoting Daventry South West have submitted various technical work demonstrating how the site is progressing. However promoters of part of the Micklewell extension (Policy HO2), Barton Willmore representing Landform, object to it being one allocation. The promoters of the other part of the site (Sworders representing Peter Noden) have not objected on these grounds.

5.30 Armstrong Rigg, who are promoting a site at Daventry South East on behalf of Manor Oak homes have objected to the plan because its omission would result in an inadequate approach to housing land supply at Daventry town.

Vibrant economy

5.31 Unclear how policy EC4 will work to deliver additional employment land where a Strategic Employment Area is completed. This will lead to limited new economic growth.

5.32 Land south of the A45, west of Royal Oak Industrial Estate has been promoted for employment use and should be allocated as an extension to Royal Oak Strategic Employment Area. The decision not to allocate is inconsistent and not adequately justified or effective.

5.30 The study into the Demand for Small and Medium sized employment units identifies a strong demand across the District as a whole and the shortage of employment land is underplayed. The Plan does not make provision to meet the need and ignores the key location where that need could best be met.

5.33 Land north of Mercedes, Brixworth is promoted for employment use and the agent requests an allocation. Failure to acknowledge the need to plan for further job growth outside of Daventry town is an unsound approach and not taking a proactive role as required by national policy. Reliance on sites in Daventry is not a sustainable approach to economic development and job creation.

5.34 Land at J18 of the M1, Crick is promoted for employment use and the agent requests an allocation. Failure to include this land means that the plan is not providing a strategy to meet the objectively assessed needs and is not an appropriate strategy. The proposed allocations at Daventry are not effective, not positive and not the most appropriate nor even an appropriate strategy. They are 30

not closely related to DIRFT, do not have prominence and are not prime locations where speculative development would be expected.

5.35 The plan does not consider the rural economy and the policies within the part 2 plan do not provide the flexibility needed to support sustainable growth in rural areas.

5.36 With regard to policy EC9, Historic England state that development of land immediately adjoining Burnt Walls Scheduled Monument could be harmful to the significance of the Scheduled Monument, the immediate setting and the historic landscape context of the monument, in which there is ridge and furrow. This section of land should be removed from the allocation or the policy criteria amended.

Built and natural environment

5.37 One site promoter considers that the proposed Special Landscape Area designation is too extensive, however, the majority of representations are from parish councils and residents concerned about the proposed changes to exclude areas around Church Brampton, Chapel Brampton, Brixworth, Draughton, Lamport and Hanging Houghton. The changes are considered to be unjustified and would reduce the level of protection.

5.38 Landowners and developers consider that the proposed Green Wedge designations at Daventry and Northampton are too extensive, unnecessary and restrictive. Designation should be considered in the context of Northampton’s housing need and sites should be released for development where they do not fulfil the Green Wedge function. There is concern that the designation will prevent the Northampton Northern Orbital Road from being delivered. South Northamptonshire Council suggest that designation should focus on the most sensitive areas.

5.39 Historic England continues to raise concerns about the impact of Daventry South East Gateway on the significance of Burnt Walls scheduled monument and its setting.

Addressing Main Issues

5.40 All complete representations received by the closing date have been submitted to the Secretary of State for consideration as part of the Local Plan examination.

5.41 The Council has also submitted the Summary of Representations to Proposed Submission Plan and Council Response. The representations and responses were considered by Council on the 6 December 2018. 31

5.42 These representations will be considered by the appointed planning inspector as part of the Local Plan examination process. Issues raised through the consultation may be responded to and discussed at the examination hearings.

5.43 The timetable for the examination process and any potential examination hearings will be determined largely by the planning inspector, in conjunction with the programme officer.

32

6. Conclusion

6.1 The development of the Submission Settlements and Countryside Local Plan (Part 2) has been extensive and thorough. There have been three stages of public consultation on the Local Plan and specific consultations on evidence base methodologies and studies and the Parish Annex. The Council has engaged in ongoing dialogue with key agencies and neighbouring authorities. The development of the plan needs to be considered in the context of the West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy (WNJCS) which forms the strategic Part 1 Local Plan.

6.2 Feedback on the Issues and Options helped to shape the content of the Emerging Draft Plan. Consultation on the settlement hierarchy and HELAA methodologies informed the categorisation of settlements and the site selection process.

6.3 Consultation responses to the Emerging Draft Plan helped to identify where additional technical evidence was required and where considered appropriate, this lead to factual changes and refinement of policies for the Proposed Submission Plan. The Summary of Representations, Response and Action (FSD04) and Composite List of Changes set out how the Council considered and responded to the representations and made changes.

6.4 It is considered that the extensive work undertaken during the development of the Settlements and Countryside Local Plan (Part 2) has addressed and responded to the key issues raised through the respective consultations. It has enabled the production of a robust, sound plan which builds on the WNJCS Local Plan (Part 1) and provides more detailed local policies. The establishment of an extensive evidence base has enabled the development of a justified, robust and sound Submission Plan.

6.5 Consultation on the Proposed Submission Plan in 2018 resulted in a mix of supportive representations and objections. The issues raised were broadly the same as were raised at the Emerging Draft stage, namely that development in the rural area should not be restricted, the plan should address the needs of the NRDA, the plan does not support the rural economy and changes to the Special Landscape Area in the east of the District are not justified. The Summary of Representations to Proposed Submission Plan and Council Response (PSD11) sets out the Council’s response to these issues, which will be taken forward and explored through the examination.

6.6 This Statement of Consultation demonstrates that the Council has met the procedural requirements of plan preparation.

Have your say to help plan the future of Daventry District

Residents, businesses and landowners are encouraged to get involved in a major planning consultation starting today (29 January) that will help shape the future development of Daventry District.

Over the next six weeks, Daventry District Council (DDC) is urging people to give their views on the issues and challenges facing their local communities, as work begins on preparing two important planning policy documents – the Settlements and Countryside Local Plan and the Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Local Plan.

Running until 11 March, 2016, the Issues and Options Consultation is an early opportunity to have a say on what issues need to be considered for the two local plans, which will be prepared over the next three years. Residents are encouraged to attend a series of public exhibitions taking place around the District in February where they can discuss matters with planning officers. These will be held at Crick, Woodford, Welford, Moulton and Long Buckby. The exhibition will also be available at the Civic Offices in Daventry.

 The Settlements and Countryside Local Plan will provide detailed planning policy and guidance to help decision making on matters including policies that focus on rural and urban housing growth, the rural and urban economy, sustainable development, infrastructure and climate change and protecting and enhancing the natural, built and historic environment.

 The Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Local Plan will set out detailed planning policy and guidance for Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling showpeople development up until 2029, necessarily identifying and allocating sites in the District to meet the needs of these groups.

35

The two plans follow on from the West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy, which sets out the strategic approach to development in Daventry District up to 2029, such as overall housing and employment requirements.

Councillor Alan Chantler, Strategic Planning Portfolio Holder said: “These two documents will play an important role in guiding the future development and growth of our District and ultimately inform planning decisions. “The involvement of residents and businesses is crucial from the very beginning. We need to know their views on what they think the future issues and challenges are for the area and how they should be addressed. “I would encourage as many people as possible to join in the consultation and give their views. For those who want to find out more, the public exhibitions taking place in February are an ideal opportunity.”

How to comment: The consultation runs from Friday, 29 January 2016 until 4.30pm on Friday, 11 March, 2016.

The plans follow on from the West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy, which sets out the strategic approach to development in Daventry District up to 2029, such as overall housing and employment requirements. Councillor David James, Strategic Planning Portfolio Holder said: “These documents will play an important role in guiding the future development and growth of our District and ultimately inform planning decisions. “The involvement of residents and businesses has been crucial from the very Residents, businesses and landowners are being encouraged to get involved in beginning and we were encouraged with a major planning initiative this spring to help shape the future development of the response to the Issues and Options Daventry District. consultation last year.

They form part of a wider review of some of Daventry District’s 24 conservation areas – sites considered worthy of preservation or enhancement because of their special architectural or historic interest. Designating a conservation area puts in place tighter planning controls for anyone seeking permission to alter or demolish a building, or carry out work to trees, in order to maintain the special interest of the area. As well as reviewing existing conservation areas to see if any boundary changes are required, the case for some new conservation areas will Moulton Parish Church also be considered.

Give your views on plans for the future of Daventry District

People living and working in Daventry District are being encouraged to get involved in an important planning consultation on the future of the area.

Over the next nine weeks, Daventry District Council (DDC) is urging people to give their views on the emerging draft Settlements and Countryside Local Plan. This is a significant planning policy document, containing detailed guidance that would help shape local decision-making on future planning issues.

In particular, the draft Plan identifies four sites in Daventry for building about 1,200 extra new homes over the next 12 years to meet the town’s housing needs:  800 homes in South West Daventry on land opposite the Grange estate, along the A45 between the A361 and A425.  Extending Micklewell Park by 180 homes.  An additional 100 homes on land at Middlemore, Daventry.  120 homes in Daventry as part of the proposed WaterSpace and retail developments at Eastern Way. The document also sets out proposals to create ‘green wedges’ on the town’s surrounding areas to protect the nearby villages of Welton, Staverton, Braunston and Norton.

Other features of the Draft Plan include:  A ‘hierarchy’ for the future development of villages and hamlets in Daventry District. This determines where future development would be both prioritised and restricted.  A new Parish Annex policy to protect a number of important local green spaces suggested by parish councils.  Creating up to 25 additional hectares of employment land in Daventry, including extending Heartlands and Apex business parks and a further site – Daventry South

53

East Gateway. There is a particular focus on buildings for smaller businesses the area needs to thrive.  An update on the needs of Gypsies, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople, setting out the number of plots and pitches required over the next 12 years to meet the standards set by Government.  Proposals to protect the District’s distinctive landscapes, biodiversity and history, as well as leisure facilities and green spaces.

The consultation starts today (Monday, 27 November) and runs until Friday, 26 January 2018. Residents are encouraged to attend a series of public exhibitions to find out more about the Draft plan. These will be held at Weedon, Naseby, Moulton, Daventry, Welford, Crick, Long Buckby, Woodford Halse and Brixworth over the next two weeks.

Following the consultation, DDC will then consider the responses received. They will be taken into account in preparing the proposed submission version of the Plan which will be consulted on in summer 2018, followed by an examination of the Plan by an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State. Adoption is anticipated to take place in summer 2019.

Councillor Alan Chantler, Daventry District Council’s Strategic Planning Portfolio Holder said: “This draft Local Plan will play an important role in the future development of our District and the whole community has a real opportunity to help shape the document by joining in this consultation.

“We are grateful to everyone who gave their views and comments during the Issues and Options consultation in early 2016. All this feedback has been taken into account in preparing this draft Plan.

“I would encourage as many residents and businesses as possible to look through the document and give their views, or come along to one of the public exhibitions to find out more.”

How to take part in the consultation

The consultation on the Emerging Draft Settlements and Countryside Local Plan (Part 2) takes place between 27 November 2017 and 26 January 2018.

District Council consults on key planning document

People living and working in Daventry District are invited to have their say on a key strategic planning document for the area.

Daventry District Council (DDC) is consulting on the proposed submission version of its Settlements and Countryside Local Plan Part 2 – a significant planning policy document that will help shape local decision-making on future planning issues.

The Plan sets out where new homes and businesses could go, to best meet future need, as well as identifying areas which should be protected.

It takes forward an emerging draft version consulted on in December and January which followed an earlier ‘Issues and Options’ consultation in 2016.

The Plan is broadly similar to the emerging draft but has been further shaped with the help of public feedback given during that consultation.

This is the version that the Council intends to submit to the Secretary of State for an independent examination into whether it is sound and complies with all legal requirements. At this stage comments can only be made on the duty to co-operate, the Plan’s legal compliance, and the tests of soundness

The consultation starts today (Monday, 13 August) and runs until 4.30pm on Friday, 5 October 2018. A permanent exhibition will be in place at the Council’s Lodge Road offices during this period for people to find out more. Residents are also invited to attend a series of public exhibitions being held around the District at:

 Brixworth Library on Monday 3 September from 2 to 6pm

89

 Daventry Library on Wednesday 5 September from 9.30am to 6pm  Naseby Village Hall on Thursday 6 September from 3pm to 7pm  Moulton Community Centre on Wednesday 12 September from 2pm to 6pm.

After the consultation has closed, the Council will consider the responses and submit the Plan to the Secretary of State for examination. It is anticipated that there will be a public examination into the Plan in spring 2019 and that adoption will follow later in that year.

Councillor Alan Chantler, Daventry District Council’s Strategic Planning Portfolio Holder said: “The Local Plan will play an important role in the future development of our District and this latest version has been shaped by the valuable feedback we have received from communities across the District during previous consultations.

“While we are only seeking views on its legal compliance and soundness at this stage, I would encourage people to please engage in the process by sharing their views on the document or coming along to one of the public exhibitions to find out more.”

People can view the Plan, consultation documents and all supporting background information and have their say at www.daventrydc.gov.uk/localplan

Hard copies of the Plan, together with the response forms which must be used when commenting, are also available at all libraries in the District or at the Daventry District Council offices, in Lodge Road, Daventry.
