Post Consultation Activities

The consultation on the draft plan has now ended and we met on November 1st to review the comments we received from South Northants Council, interested parties, and the community .

SNC approval of planning permission for 21 homes at the top of Lyne Walk on 31st October has obviously had to be taken into account in our deliberations of exactly what the Final Plan should look like.

We have taken all the comments we have received very seriously. In some cases your comments are on matters outside the scope of the plan but we intend to pass those over to those bodies who they concern, be it NCC, SNC or the Parish Council.

We have reviewed the plan in the light of comments and feel some changes are needed. We will now make recommendations to the Parish Council. We will also need to consult SNC further to fully understand their comments and ensure that the plan is clearer in the areas that they question.

Once we have addressed everyone’s comments and made the changes we feel are needed the final plan will go for official consultation and Planning Inspection.

Although the official consultation period is over you may always let the team know what you think at any time by adding a comment to this website.

First Consultation Session NOW HELD

We had the first consultation event on Saturday 5th October and were very pleased with the number of people who attended and with the feedback we received. The comments collected will all be analysed and we have already identified one or two areas where we need to do some ‘fine tuning’ before the final version is released for approval by interested organisations and Planning Inspector’s approval.

So thanks to all who attended for their questions and comments which we will be carefully looking at. The photograph below shows the event underway.

Don’t forget that there is another event on the 16th October in the evening so please come along if you want to ask us questions about the plan or make any comments.

Of course the plan is available on this site if you would prefer to read it online. It can be found here. Comments may be made as set out on the card shown below.

Informal Consultation starts now – Here is the draft plan

Welcome to the ‘Informal’ consultation on the Hackleton Neighbourhood Development Plan.

This is a significant stage in the process; it is the culmination of two years work by the Steering Group, which has involved extensive consultation with South Northants Council, the local community and our advisor, Michael Wellock (Kirkwells).

Following a public meeting in April 2017 to outline the threat to the parish from speculative developers, a Neighbourhood Area was approved and a steering group was formed with the intention of producing a Plan. Initial work was undertaken to describe the character of the parish and to set out the way in which it might develop for the benefit of the community.

Following a highly successful Open Day in June 2018, feedback from the public was analysed and incorporated into the next stage of the Plan. What followed was a very intensive year of gathering information, research into all aspects of the parish and consultation with external bodies and our consultant. Our objective throughout has been to preserve the essential character of the parish and to provide a vision for its future.

The result of this work is here before you. We hope you like it and we would like to know what think. Your opinions matter to us.

Following this consultation, amendments may be made to the Draft Plan before it proceeds to a more formal stage of assessment. The final stage of the process is to present the Plan to you, the people, in the form of a referendum.

Update – March 2019

Since we sent out the last news update we have been very busy working behind the scenes and have been focusing on traffic, the local economy, community assets, the environment and looking at where we need policies specific to our parish in those areas.

We had a productive working party meeting on March 1st when we met with Jacqueline Brooks who is the SNC Planner who is now supporting our plan for the first time. We discussed the information that we needed to collect to define the character of the villages and make it clear how future development should fit into the existing character. We also discussed our plan for the activities to be done whilst walking the villages to gather evidence to support the plan.

We had our monthly formal meeting last night, March 4th 2019. Having had the final reports on Site Options and Housing Needs we had an initial discussion with our Consultant Michael Wellock from Kirkwells on how we should use the advice from the reports to inform the next stage of the work. It was decided that we should press ahead with the approach we think best for the Parish based on the recommendations from these reports and to refer this approach for approval to the Parish Council.

We are now aiming at a mid-year completion of the draft plan which could begin the consultation process. In order to meet this a lot of further work has to be completed and sent to Michael so that he can put together the draft document.

Next Meetings

The next working party meeting will be on March 22nd and will address the information collection effort.

Our next formal steering group meeting is on Monday 8th April 2019  2019  at Hackleton Village Hall at 19:00.
