Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL)
| Description |
|
Within West Northamptonshire the three local authorities of South Northamptonshire, Daventry and Northampton have been considering the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). The three councils have asked the West Northamptonshire Joint Planning Unit to co-ordinate this consultation on their behalf.
A Preliminary Draft Charging Schedule (PDCS) for each individual authority in West Northamptonshire has now been published. Publication of this information represents the first consultation stage in considering how the CIL may operate in these areas, should it be adopted. The CIL is a charge that can be placed on new development. CIL is intended to be used to help towards funding a range of infrastructure that is needed as a result of development, for example road schemes, schools and community facilities. The PDCS documents provide more details about the CIL and the proposed charging rates.
The consultation period for all three authorities will run from Thursday 14th March to (5pm) Monday 29th April 2013.
To take part in the consultation and see the South Northants PDCS and background documents, please follow this link to the West Northants Joint Planning Unit website.

South Northamptonshire Council's response to the HS2 Consultation
| Description |
|
South Northamptonshire Council intends to submit a substantive response to the Department for Transport Consultation on the proposed High-Speed Rail Link (HS2). We are keen that the response is informed by Parish Council views from across the Distict.
It is important to note that whilst a route close to Brackley is currently the preferred option, as many as six alternative rountes have been considered by HS2 Ltd/DfT and all of them cross the District between the M1 and M40 corridors. Therefore it is possible that a high-speed rail route could have an impact on almost any part of the District.

Draft Supplementary Planning Documents: Eydon, Wappenham, Yardley Hastings & Milton Malsor
| Description |
|
Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004
The Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004 (as amended)
South Northamptonshire Local Development Framework
Notice of Draft Supplementary Planning Documents:
- Eydon Village Design Statement
- Wappenham Village Design Statement
- Yardley Hastings Village Design Statement
- Milton Malsor Parish Action Plan
In accordance with regulation 17 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004 (as amended) the South Northamptonshire Council has agreed the above documents for public consultation. When adopted (with or without alteration) they will form part of the Local Development Framework for South Northamptonshire.
The Village Design Statements (VDSs) are an important tool for use in helping to protect the character of villages in terms of sensitive design. Parish Councils have committed a significant amount of work to the preparation of such documents. They are a practical tool to help influence decisions on design and development. Prepared correctly, a VDS will provide a clear statement of the character of a particular village against which planning applications may be assessed. A VDS is not concerned with whether development should take place but with how planned development should be carried out, so that it is in harmony with its setting and contributed to the conservation and, where possible, enhancement of the local environment.
South Northamptonshire Council will be consulting on the VDSs for 6 weeks from Friday 1 April 2011.
Copies of the draft VDSs are available at www.southnorthants.gov.uk/2394.htm and are free of charge from the Council. They are available to view during normal opening hours at the offices of South Northamptonshire Council and also at public libraries throughout South Northamptonshire.
Representations on the draft VDSs are invited and must be received no later than 5.00 p.m. on Friday 13th May 2011. Representations should be sent in writing to the South Northamptonshire Council, Springfields, Towcester, NN12 6AE, by fax to 01327 322074, or by email to planning.policy@southnorthants.gov.uk.
Please note that representations received during the consultation period cannot be treated as confidential. Please notify the Council if you wish to be informed when either SPD has been adopted.
If you have any questions on the VDSs please contact the Planning Policy Team on 01327 322267 or via planning.policy@southnorthants.gov.uk
