Campaign to preserve the Conservation Area Boundary We have just a few days left to send in responses and comments about the changes to our Conservation Area. The consultation period closes at noon on 4th April 2013. Responses should be sent or emailed to: email: mandy.lumb@ southnorthants.gov.uk Mandy Lumb Heritage and Conservation South Northants Council Springfields Towcester NN12 6AE The proposed changes include an extension to an area at the bottom of North Street, and the removal of land The Paddock near the crossroads and at the Conker field in Church Street. The proposals are available on the Councils SNC website. Designated Conservation Areas help to preserve and enhance our historic environment and they become a material consideration when making Planning Decisions. A detailed objection and response is now copied onto the Rothersthorpe Village website together with a suggested letter that can be used by anyone interested in supporting the case for preserving the existing conservation area boundary.

This decision, if approved could seriously change the character of the village in the future so please make sure you join in the Campaign for preservation of the existing boundary. Sending a response will show the strength of public opinion, and this is important when considering the impact of localism in decision making. A few moments of your time could make all the difference.
Please send your comments and thoughts about the changes to Mandy Lumb at SNC and please make sure you also send a copy of your comments to Cllr Janet Eliot. Danesfield, North Street, Rothersthorpe. Robert Boscott
