Residents and developers are being asked to help shape West Northamptonshire Council’s (WNC) new Infrastructure and Developer Contributions document, aimed at providing clearer, more consistent guidance to inform planning decisions across the area.
The proposed Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) will replace the three existing versions inherited from the former district and borough councils and will provide one document for West Northamptonshire.

A new SPD will provide up to date guidance in a single document, offering clarity on how contributions are calculated, delivered, and monitored. It will also explain the rules and policies that guide how developers are asked to contribute to things like affordable housing, parks, health services and local infrastructure.

We encourage residents, developers, and stakeholders to have their say and help shape the future of planning in our area.”

The consultation will run until  21 December, and people can share their views via the Council’s Consultation Hub.

The final SPD will then be shaped following feedback and published in early 2026.
