Inspector’s final Local Plan report published

Posted on January 17, 2020 by

A major policy document produced to help shape Daventry District’s future development is sound and complies with legal requirements, an independent examination has concluded.

Planning Inspector Gareth Wildgoose says the Daventry District Settlements and Countryside (Part 2) Local Plan provides an appropriate basis for the planning of the area, so long as a number of changes – known as main modifications – are made to it.

His final report, together with the recommended main modifications, was published on Friday (10 January) and will be considered by Daventry District councillors next month.

A decision on whether to adopt the Local Plan is due to be made at the meeting of Full Council on 20 February.

Developed by Daventry District Council and shaped by input from key stakeholders including local residents, parish councils and businesses, the Local Plan is a significant planning policy document containing detailed guidance to help shape decision-making on future planning issues.

The plan will be used to determine planning applications, and will supplement policies in the West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy, adopted in 2014, as well as in Neighbourhood plans.

Submitted for examination in December 2018, it was scrutinised during a series of public hearings held last summer.

People can view the final inspector’s report and the recommended main modifications at http://www.daventrydc.gov.uk/localplan

Alternatively, printed copies are available at the Council offices in Lodge Road, Daventry, or from the libraries at Brixworth, Long Buckby, Woodford Halse, Daventry and Moulton.

Energy awareness day could save you money on your bills

Posted on January 15, 2020 by

Advice and support to help people heat their homes more cheaply will be on offer during an energy efficiency awareness day in Daventry.

The drop-in event takes place in the reception area at Daventry District Council’s (DDC) Lodge Road offices on Monday 20 January.

Running from 10am until midday, and then from 2-4pm, it offers visitors the chance to pick up advice about getting the most from their central heating, understanding energy bills, reading their gas and electricity meters, the installation of smart meters, and saving money on their bills.

There will be information about the Northamptonshire Energy Saving Service, which offers free independent advice to residents, and the Warm Homes Fund, which installs free central heating in eligible homes across the county.

Visitors are invited to bring a recent energy bill or annual statement with them so they can register for DDC’s Big Switch energy scheme and see how much money they could save by changing their energy supplier. Everyone who attends will be entered into a free draw for the chance to win a £50 One4All High Street shopping voucher.

The event has been organised by the Daventry & District Forum (DDF) group for over 50s in partnership with DDC and is supported by National Energy Action, a national charity which works to end fuel poverty.

Adam Scorer at National Energy Action said: “It is a tragedy that so many people die or suffer the health impacts of living in a cold home when they are largely preventable. This is why NEA committed to provide funding to so many different organisations across the country. We anticipate that the funding will make it possible to provide much needed support for residents within the local area.”

Councillor Jo Gilford, Environment Portfolio Holder on Daventry District Council, said: “We’re pleased to be working with National Energy Action to put on this event, which follows on from a successful drop-in session held last month.

“The aim is to highlight the range of support that residents can access in order to help them heat their homes more cheaply and efficiently. It’s also a great opportunity to pick up some practical advice about energy meters, billing, and the benefits of switching providers.”
