We asked

Between November 2022 and January 2023 we consulted upon the draft Brockhall Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan and a proposed conservation area boundary.

The appraisal set out the character of the conservation area and identified important features in order to provide advice to those making proposals which might affect the designation’s special interest.

The appraisal also proposed candidates for the Local List, and formulated proposals for an Article 4(1) Direction.

The appraisal and amended boundary were adopted at the meeting of Planning Policy Committee on 28 February.

Overview

West Northamptonshire Council is reviewing conservation areas in the Daventry area, as well as considering new designations. A draft appraisal and management plan has been prepared for the Brockhall Conservation Area.

We would like to hear the views of residents, the community and all other stakeholders on the draft appraisal and management plan.

Before providing your comments, please read the draft appraisal and view a map of the proposed conservation area boundary by visiting: Conservation areas | West Northamptonshire Council (westnorthants.gov.uk). You will need to look at the draft appraisal before submitting comments, therefore you may want to keep it open while you take the survey.

Event to find out more

An online, virtual presentation event will take place on Thursday 15 December from 6.30pm to 7.30pm and will be hosted on Microsoft Teams.
