The local planning authorities in West Northamptonshire have agreed to prepare a new Strategic Plan for the area. This covers the period 2019-2041, although this vision may look further ahead.
This Plan replaces the West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy.
This Consultation is the first stage in preparing the new Plan and no decisions have been made. The purpose of the document is to raise awareness and stimulate debate.
An ‘Issues Consultation’ document which includes a series of questions is now available. Your views on the issues are welcome. A Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report is also available for comment and there is the opportunity to put forward your ideas for strategic sites through a ‘call for sites’ exercise. Both documents are available for public consultation from 5th August to 11th October.
To view the documents go to https://westnorthantsplan.inconsult.uk/consult.ti/WNSPIssues/consultationHome

The documents are also available for inspection from Council Offices at:
– Northamptonshire County Council, ONE Angel Square, Northampton, NN1 1ED;

The documents are also available for inspection from the Brixworth Library on Spratton Road, Brixworth.
