Already aware of key issues raised by members of the public in relation to the proposed development for the Overall Allocated Site (referred to as Buckton Fields), Ensign undertook further public consultation specifically relating to emerging proposals for Buckton Fields East site ahead of submitting an outline planning application (DA/2008/0500) to Daventry District Council in April 2008.

Since making that submission, Ensign continued to review and develop its plans and, as a result, has subsequently made revisions to the original planning application for Buckton Fields East. The developer feels these revisions are a suitable response to its further research and understanding, better address issues raised, and lessen the perceived impact of the proposals.

In making these revisions, the developer has drawn on comments and feedback received during the pre-application consultation programme carried out as part of the April 2008 Buckton Fields East application – the details of which is clearly set out in the original Statement of Community Engagement (April 2008) below.

In addition Ensign has also been able to draw on comments and feedback raised during post submission consultation that has taken place in relation to the overall allocated site of Buckton Fields since 2007. This information is detailed in a separate addendum to the existing SCE for Buckton Fields East. Both documents are available to download below:
