Planning

As a small, local charity, we tend to concentrate our limited resources on planning matters with the aim of protecting our beautiful Northamptonshire countryside from unsuitable development.  We advise and support other local groups, including parish councils, to help their voices be heard.  Our planning team comprises a small group of dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers who between them have many years of experience and expertise.
