Dear Consultee,
West Northamptonshire Council is consulting on its Regulation 18 Draft Local Plan. The Draft Plan and supporting documents will be available for public inspection for eight weeks, from Thursday 29 January 2026 until 23:59 on Friday 27 March 2026.
The Local Plan is an important planning document that sets out how we propose West Northamptonshire will change and grow over the next two decades. The principles set out in the plan and the sites it identifies for protection and those it proposes to allocate for development will underpin decisions that are made in the years ahead. It is important to understand your views on these important matters.
