About the appeals -

Planning applications for three separate sustainable urban extensions in Daventry were submitted in 2007. In 2008 appeals were submitted against non-determination of these proposals and are due to be heard at a public Inquiry. The Inquiry started on Tuesday, 20 January 2009 and was expected to be completed at the beginning of April 2009.

At the end of February 2009, parties involved in the Daventry planning appeals agreed the Inquiry would be adjourned until later in the year.  The Inquiry continued on Tuesday, March 24 for two days to cover issues around flood risk and infrastructure then was adjourned until Thursday, June 25 to continue for approximately four and a half weeks.

In June the Inspector will hear evidence regarding highways matters, Section 106 and conditions prior to closing statements. The Inquiry schedule is available by clicking here.

The Inquiry will be presided over by an inspector appointed by the Planning Inspectorate who will be presented and consider the evidence of all parties to the appeal, including members of the public. The inspector will forward a report to the Secretary of State at the department of Communities and Local Government for a final decision on the three urban extensions.
