Daventry District Part 2 Local Plans

Daventry District Council is in the process of preparing the Daventry District Settlements and Countryside (Part 2) Local Plan. This is a significant planning policy document, containing detailed guidance to help shape local decision-making on future planning issues. The timetable for producing the Part 2 Local Plan is set out in a revised Local Development Scheme, which was approved by Full Council on the 7 December 2017. Download the timetable here.

Once adopted, it will set out where new homes could go to meet future housing need, as well as the best locations for new businesses, to create employment opportunities. It will help determine which areas should be protected from development and contains policies to protect the District’s distinctive landscapes, biodiversity and history, as well as its leisure facilities and green spaces.

It will also provide 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.

Settlements and Countryside Local Plan (Part 2) for Daventry District

Consultation now closed

 

The Council consulted on a Proposed Submission Plan. Public consultation on both the Proposed Submission Plan and the Sustainability Appraisal ran for eight weeks from Monday 13 August to Friday 5th October 2018.

The Proposed Submission Plan is based on up-to-date evidence and covers a broad range of local policies that will guide decisions on planning applications and development in the District up to 2029. 

The Proposed Submission Plan takes forward the 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.

Previous stages of the plan preparation can be viewed on the previous stages page.

To accompany the Proposed Submission Plan, a Sustainability Appraisal has also been produced to look at the economic, environmental, and social effects of the plan.

The Council has produced a Statement of Representation Procedure Notice which sets out details about the Proposed Submission Local Plan, the period for making representations, where documents can be inspected, how to make representations and a request to be notified about progress on the Plan. It can be downloaded below:
