Planning - local plans

The Policy and Infrastructure team's main functions are to prepare the policy framework for development in the area, to carry out monitoring and research and to produce and implement proposals for key infrastructure projects.

Kettering Borough Council works in partnership with East Northamptonshire, Corby and Wellingborough Councils together with Northamptonshire County Council to prepare a Local Development Framework for North Northamptonshire. The Joint Planning Unit (JPU) has been established to consider strategic and cross-boundary development and co-ordinates the preparation of the Local Development Framework for North Northamptonshire.
