A solar farm is proposed for the land on Crick Road.
All residents are invited to a public exhibition where they can learn more and view the plans.
Tuesday 3rd December 2019, 4.30 to 7.30pm, Reading Room, High Street.
Plans are expected to be submitted in the first quarter of 2020.
A representative from Daventry District Council (DDC) and a representative from Northants Housing Association (NHA) confirmed that following the housing needs survey carried out earlier in the year, there is a need for affordable housing. A plot of land at the top of Hillmorton Lane has been identified for four bungalows and five houses. Five of the properties will remain affordable in perpetuity. There will be a mix of rented, shared ownership, and market housing. This will be a rural exception site but will not set a precedent for future development outside of the village boundary. The Parish Council can be involved at all stages of the development.
The Parish Council have advised that they would prefer not to have responsibility for further street lighting. NHA confirmed that there are alternatives such as PIR lighting. There may be a need for a new street light at the top of Hillmorton Lane.
NHA confirmed that the properties will be eco e.g. airsource heat pumps. Solar panels can be considered.
NHA confirmed that the properties will meet national standards e.g. larger properties, bungalows having wet rooms.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces
Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.
The Armed Forces Covenant
An Enduring Covenant Between
The People of the United Kingdom
Her Majesty’s Government
All those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown
And their Families
The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.
Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.
This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.
Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Covenant
Section 2: Demonstrating our Commitment
2.1 We recognise the value of serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families; and will aim to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by:
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our social media and on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
