Dear Planning Department,

I have submitted my proposal for the 2019-2029 Local Plan via SurveyMonkey and, following advice from Noreen, now attach the map of the site I refer to, the "Former Glebe Land at Great Houghton".

Thank you for connecting this map with my proposal under the same reference, and for considering my proposal.

Kind regards,

Robert de Vito Boutin

Q11

Please set out the changes that you consider are necessary to make the Northampton Local Plan Part 2 ProposedSubmission Round 2 document legally compliant and / or sound including revised wording of any policy text, andreasons why the proposed change would make it legally compliant and/or sound. Please be as precise as possible.

I believe the Northampton Local Plan to be unsound in two areas: it is not positively prepared in that there is land that could be added to the plan for development not currently included, and it is not consistent with national policy because according to Chapter 2 “Northampton Now” Section A “A Profile of Northampton” Subsection (e) “Housing” para 2.12 the Council has “not been able to meet its 5 year housing land supply as required by the Government”. The shortfall to 2019 was 2,340 houses. Additionally, Chapter 2 Section B “Key Challenges and Opportunities for Northampton” subsection (a) “Challenges" ii ‘Housing Delivery’ para 2.50 states;“Evidence shows that the Borough does not have a 5 year housing land supply”.

The proposed change that I consider necessary is to add a site of 9.62 acres in Great Houghton to Policy 38 “Development Allocations". The site is former Glebe Land to the north of the railway line that bisects the village, west of the conservation area, south of the border with the former Great Houghton Preparatory School and Brackmills Industrial Estate. The land connects to the village directly via Rectory Close, an access road which already serves five houses. Having spoken with Noreen we have agreed that my submission will be sent via SurveyMonkey and a site map will be emailed separately to the Planning Policy Inbox under the subject "Former Glebe land at Great Houghton".

It can be seen from the map of the village “Great Houghton in 1900” published in the “Great Houghton Conservation Area Appraisal & Management Plan” Consultation Draft page 10 Para 4.4 that there was a building on the land at this time, located close to the northern boundary. There appears to be no trace of this building today, but the land has been built on in the past.

Development could be residential, to help meet the housing shortage in the borough, or for an hotel to help meet the room shortage outlined in Chapter 2 of the Plan, Section A, subsection (g) “Tourism” para 2.26 and Table 4 ‘Northampton Projected Requirements for new Hotel Development 2019-2029’ which gives the number of “Total New Hotel Rooms” required at between 298 and 553.

Development would aim to be in line with all relevant policies. In addition, there are specific policies that relate to it and which it would aim to specifically satisfy:

A: The number of houses or size of hotel would be appropriate specifically to support the economic, social and environmental conditions of Policy 1 “Sustainable Development”. Residential development might consist of around 30 high value homes, providing each plot with an average of around a third of an acre of green space overall.

B: Development would specifically aim to support Policy 2 “Placemaking” and the related Policy 3 “Design” in every respect, enhancing the unique village “feel” of Great Houghton with high quality buildings using suitable materials, even though it lies outside the Village Conservation Area.

C: Development would specifically aim to support the requirements of Policy 4 “Amenity and Layout”. It has the distinct advantage of supporting Policy 27 “Green Infrastructure” and Policy 28 “Providing Open Spaces” in that it connects Great Houghton village directly for the first time to the Brackmills Country Park (Parks and Gardens) and is well within the maximum 720m walk from the large area of “Natural and Semi Natural Green Space” to the south.

D: Development would specifically aim to support Policy 6 “Health and Wellbeing” by the nature of its location within a strong and vibrant village community.

E: The land falls within the 3km zone adjacent to the Upper Nene Valley Gravel Pits Special protection Area, Ramsar Policies 29 & 30, which are being satisfied by the development to the south of the village known as “The Green” (Policy 41). Any additional requirements to protect the local habitat and bird life will be met where appropriate.

The site fits well with Northampton Borough Council’s Vision as set out in Chapter 3 “Vision and Borough Objectives” section (a) “Vision” para 3.2: “Northampton will provide a balanced range of high quality housing to meet differing housing needs and aspirations and offer an excellent quality of life for all its communities”.
