The Town Council is responsible for drawing up any Neighbourhood Plans for its area, or part of its area, and submitting them for eventual adoption, after which they will tested by a government inspector and approved by a referendum of local people.

One plan is being drawn up now - the South West Kettering (Headlands) Area Neighbourhood Plan. The next section will describe where the plan is up to as it progresses.

If you believe that any part of Kettering would benefit from a neighbourhood plan, to protect or to improve the built and natural environment in your area, please contact the clerk for an initial discussion: clerk@ketteringtowncouncil.gov.uk
