Neighbourhood Development Plan

The Moulton Neighbourhood Development Plan has been agreed!

Following a majority vote in favour at the referendum held on Thursday 1st December, 2016, Daventry District Council formally made the plan on Friday 2nd December in accordance with the decision of its Full Council on 6th October 2016. The plan now forms part of the Statutory Development Plan and will be used when determining planning applications in the Moulton Neighbourhood Area.

We would like to thank everyone who took the time to attend a Steering Group Meeting, complete a Resident Survey, attend a Consultation Event and most of all residents who took time to vote. Your contribution has helped to shape the future of our community.

Moulton Parish Council have received a £10,000 grant from The Big Lottery Fund towards the cost of producing the Neighbourhood Development Plan.

The Big Lottery Fund, the largest distributor of National Lottery good cause funding, is responsible for giving out 40% of the money raised for good causes by the National Lottery. The Fund is committed to bringing real improvements to communities and the lives of people most in need and has been rolling out grants to health, education, environment and charitable causes across the UK. Since June 2004 BIG has awarded close to £6 billion. The Fund was formally established by Parliament on 1 December 2006. Since the National Lottery began in 1994, 28p from every pound spent by the public has gone to good causes. As a result, over £29 billion has now been raised and more than 400,000 grants awarded across arts, sport, heritage, charities, health, education and the environment.

Moulton Parish Council are delighted with the outcome of the application, receiving the full funding that was requested. Producing a Neighbourhood Development Plan is a lengthy and costly procedure, so this grant is greatly appreciated.
