West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy WEST NORTHAMPTONSHIRE JOINT CORE STRATEGY Pre-Submission - February 2011 West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy – Pre-Submission FEB 2011 Foreword The importance of “Strategic Planning” which shapes and makes the places in which people live, work and play cannot be underestimated. The alternative would, in all likelihood, result in an uncoordinated approach through speculative developer-led planning and related applications. This Pre-Submission West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy is a key document in ensuring places are shaped and made in a way which meets the needs of the people of today whilst ensuring the needs of future generations are safeguarded. This document is the first one to be produced in the West Northamptonshire Local Development Framework, a suite of planning policy and related documents that will, together, guide the evolution of Northampton, Daventry and South Northamptonshire in the years that lie ahead. It provides a long-term vision for the area with an overall framework in which more detailed plans will be drawn up and decisions made. It contains a broad planning strategy aimed at meeting that vision, and contains core strategic policies, which the Partner Councils – Daventry District, Northampton Borough, South Northamptonshire and Northamptonshire County Councils – believe will provide sound guidance in the years ahead. This Pre-Submission Joint Core Strategy has been prepared in such a way so as to enable it to be disaggregated into three separate local plans, one for each of the partner Borough and District Councils, if that is considered appropriate in the future. The Pre-Submission Joint Core Strategy replaces the Emergent Joint Core Strategy that was published for consultation in July 2009. The whole community has had a real opportunity to positively and collectively influence and improve the way we do things in the future – in the way we use land, we build, and how we shape our environment. Further opportunity to get involved in the planning of our areas is now available through the publication of this Pre-Submission Joint Core Strategy. The involvement of the local community and many other organisations and groups to date has helped the Partner Councils to shape this Pre-Submission Joint Core Strategy document. All involved in the preparation of it are very grateful for these contributions that have been made throughout the lengthy period the document has been in the making and here is a further opportunity for more input. The Councils consider that the scale of development set out in this Plan to meet the local needs of the area is both realistic and deliverable. We recognise the importance of ensuring the appropriate levels of strategic and local community infrastructure requirements are delivered alongside any future housing growth. West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy – Pre-Submission FEB 2011 The Localism Bill includes a duty to co-operate to ensure that local authorities and public bodies co-operate with each other. The duty is seen by Government as a key element of its proposals for strategic working once Regional Strategies are abolished. The dynamic partnership of Councils and other stakeholders that make up the West Northamptonshire planning partnership are delighted that we have reached this stage in order to protect our communities whilst at the same time meeting future local housing demand and encouraging future economic growth, which is so important to all of us. It strikes the right balance between ensuring the area is planned as a whole whilst also celebrating the diversity of the distinctive places across the constituent Councils’ areas. The Councils remain committed to this co-operative working and where appropriate this will extend to other local authority areas.

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

CHARLES MARKHAM, P R E F A C E. ———— HIS history of an English family — which for nearly four T centuries has been " happy, in that they were not over happy ; on fortune's cap they were not the very button, nor the soles of her shoes" — was undertaken by me at the request of some members of the family. It has formed my " leisure's labour" for several years, and has now been brought to an end — I wish I could add completed. But I would say, with our great lexicographer, that, "in this work, when it shall be found that much is omitted, let it not be forgotten that much likewise is performed." Such as it is, this work has given me pleasure to do ; for, as the prophet of the age very truly says in Modern Painters, that " next to the Gods man was always anxious to know something about his ancestors ; fond of exalting the memory, and telling or painting the history of old rulers and benefactors ; yet full of an enthusiastic confidence in himself, as having in many ways advanced beyond the best efforts of past time ; and eager to record his own doings for future fame."
