Kettering Borough Council is conducting a further consultation on the Site Specific Part 2 Local Plan for the period 2011-2031. This is the last consultation before the Plan is submitted, as part of the North Northamptonshire Development Plan, to the Secretary of State next April. The Plan allocates land for housing, employment, retail, leisure and community facilities and contains policies relating to specific areas. On this occasion we are invited to comment on whether the Plan complies with legal requirements and the duty to cooperate, and whether it is "sound" (there is a guidance note that says what this means). Details of the consultation, including public consultation events, can be seen here; and the document itself can be accessed through the Consultation Portal here. The consultation runs from 18 December 2019 to 12 February 2020 and will be on the agenda for the Parish Council meeting on 21 January. Flood Risk and Mitigation in Braybrooke.
The report from the Pathfinder II Project which is under consideration by the Parish Council can be seen by clicking here. It contains maps and surveys of water courses, drains, and possible flood areas in the Parish, together with guidance on how to maintain these and further investigations required. Flood Warden Gary Hague has arranged for CCTV surveys of key hidden pipework to see what blockages there are and get proposals to rectify them. |
