Earls Barton Neighbourhood Plan

Implications of Pre-Submission North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031 published January 2015

A hearing was held on 29 April 2015 as part of the examination of the Earls Barton Neighbourhood Plan.  At the hearing reference was made by the Borough Council of Wellingborough to the Pre-Submission North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031 January 2015.

As this document had not been referred to in previous documentation the Examiner decided that interested parties should be given an opportunity to comment on the implications of this document for the Earls Barton Neighbourhood Plan.

Planning Policy Guidance (Ref ID 41-009-20140306) states:

“A draft Neighbourhood Plan or Order is not tested against the policies in an emerging Local Plan although the reasoning and evidence informing the Local Plan process may be relevant to the consideration of the basic conditions against which a neighbourhood plan is tested”.

The references at the hearing were to Policy 29-Distribution of new Homes of the January 2015 document and to Table 5: Housing delivery in named settlements.

Interested parties may comment on the relevance and implications of pages 125-131 of the Pre-Submission North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031 published in January 2015.
