Daventry Settlements and Countryside Part 2 [TJ1] Foreword The Daventry District Settlements and Countryside Local Plan (Part 2) is a key document that will help to shape the future of the District. When this document is adopted, it will sit alongside the West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy (Adopted 2014) and made Neighbourhood Development Plans. These will collectively be the basis for helping to guide and shape the development and use of land across the District. This document is therefore very important for helping to shape the future of the District. This document is the Proposed Submission Version, which builds on the Issues and Options and Emerging Draft consultations undertaken in early 2016 and late 2017. We are grateful to everyone who responded to those consultations, your views have been taken into account in preparing this plan. This plan is based on a thorough evidence base which is set out on the Council’s website. Further details of the consultation are set out within the document including how you can respond, it is important to note that comments must relate to legal compliance and the tests of soundness and be made on the prescribed response form. The consultation also includes a series of exhibitions taking place in early September which you are encouraged to attend.

  • Crick in 1700 Part 4
    Crick in 1700 Part 4 1 Our present-day pattern of roads is generally BO familiar that a second thought is seldom given to the possibility of its having been substantially different in the past, yet such was the case in this part of Northamptonshire only 200 years ago. Today, Crick lies on the main road from Northampton to Coventry via Rugby or Dunchurch, with side roads to Yelvertoft and Watford, a lane to Kilsby and a field road, which starts towards Lilbourne, only to peter out. The Watling Street runs northwards along the western boundary of the parish, a legacy from the Roman occupation and in use since then, although a length of 2^- miles north from Watford Gap has been derelict since the middle of the last century. Within recent years, an ugly swathe has been cut parallel to it across the parish for the M1 motorway (names are out of fashion nowadays). The Northampton road became an effective through route only from about 1750 when a turnpike road was made up, following the Act of 1738/9. The roads to Yelvertoft and Watford, as well as the Kilsby lane were laid down at the Inclosures of 1776, and although the Lilbourne way was also laid out then, it has since gone out of use past Shenley. These Inclosure roads were ruled on a map, so that they can be recognised readily by their long straight lengths. When the canals were cut towards the close of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries, and again when the railways were made in the middle of the 19th, some of these roads had to be diverted locally, obliterating parts of their original course and disturbing their straightness.
