Tributes to the Duke of Edinburgh
Following the sad passing of Prince Phillip, an online book of condolence has been set up at https://www.royal.uk
An official remembrance service will be held on Friday 16 April 2021 at All Saints Church in Northampton and admission will be limited. The official guidance on floral tributes is as follows:
“continue to follow the current Government coronavirus guidelines, particularly on avoiding meeting in large groups and on minimising travel, to keep themselves and others safe. Members of the public may wish to consider making a donation to a charity of their choice, or one of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Patronages in memory of His Royal Highness, instead of leaving floral tributes.”

This is the web site of the Parish Council of Braybrooke, a small village and rural parish in the Kettering district of Northamptonshire.
The Parish Council meets in the Village Hall every second month, on the third Tuesday; and additionally as necessary to respond to planning applications. In this site, you will find details of the Council members; the agendas and minutes of meetings; a list of recent planning applications and, where applicable, the Parish Council's response; and a reference source for the council's policies. You will also be able to provide feedback on the site and the council, or send a message to one of the Councillors. Local Plan Consultation
The "Site Specific Part 2 Local Plan" for the Kettering Area of North Northamptonshire (formerly Kettering Borough) has been amended following formal examination by the Secretary of State's Examiner. The changes are now out for public consultation, until 30 April.
The main change affecting Braybrooke is the removal of the Open Green Spaces in the centre of the village. This removes a protection against development in the broad swathe of gardens and paddocks running through the centre of Braybrooke. As with other villages, the Examiner says that KBC failed to justify these spaces against the appropriate national strategy criteria, but suggests the spaces are adequately protected by inclusion in the Conservation Area. We suggest it is important that the Braybrooke community makes clear what its view is on this change, and we therefore encourage as many residents as possible to comment. The consultation is at https://kettering.objective.co.uk/portal - click on “Main Modifications Consultation”. Details of the changes in question are at pages 51-53 of the "Schedule of proposed Main Modifications" and at p15 of the "Schedule of proposed changes to the Policies Map" To comment, click on “Start Survey” then log in or register. Comments should refer to “Main Modification MM27 regarding Open Spaces, and Policy Map PM9 Deletion of Local Green Space reference numbers HVI006 and HVI007”.

Neighbourhood PlanBraybrooke is working on a Neighbourhood Plan, as agreed at the 2020 Annual Meeting of the Parish. A Steering Group was formed on 15 June 2020.
A questionnaire to canvass residents views received 119 responses. The analysis of these responses can be seen here. At its meeting on 7 December (for details see the minutes on the "Neighbourhood Plan" page) the Steering Group formed three "Theme Groups" covering housing, environment, and sustainability. These groups are now examining the issues raised, formulating objectives, exploring options for achieving them, and building up the evidence to support them. A "Special Edition" of The Gossip about that work will issue shortly and the Annual Parish Meeting on 9 May will be an opportunity to discuss it. That will lead to a major consultation exercise when it is safe and permissible to hold a face-to face public meeting. The Neighbourhood Plan page of this website will provide more details as they emerge. Join the mailing listThe Parish Council wishes to be able to keep Braybrooke residents (and anyone else who is interested) informed by email about relevant issues. To add yourself to the mailing list, please click HERE and follow the instructions.
