All local
authorities are required to produce a Local Plan with the aim of providing a
more flexible planning system that adapts to changing priorities and which
seeks to secure sustainable development.
The Local Plan sets out how we will plan the future
development of Wellingborough. It will guide new developments to appropriate
locations, while protecting our natural environment and built heritage.
The Local Plan is shaped by the National Planning
Policy Framework - the top tier of planning policy. The Framework provides
guidance to local authorities and other agencies on planning policy and the
operation of the planning system. It covers issues such as housing, green
belts, economic growth, heritage, sustainable development, biodiversity,
transport, waste management and open space, sport and recreation.
The Local
Plan for the Borough is made up of two documents
- The North
Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy (adopted July 2016). More
information can be found on the North Northamptonshire Joint Planning Unit
website
- It is anticipated that the Part 2 Local Plan for Wellingborough will be adopted in early 2018. More information can be found on the Part 2 Local Plan for Wellingborough webpage
